She pushed the swing doors of the library and went in.
. . Walking on tiptoe, Tim turned on the light over the English literature
section and began her quest.
She had no intention of disturbing anyone, and it did not occur to her
that the steady rustle and thump of books as she took each volume out,
looked through and returned it to the shelf, could be, and was, incredibly
distracting. As she went methodically along the shelves, drawing a blank
each time, the thumps grew progressively louder and more hopeless. . .
Val Longstreet, in similar circumstances, would have told Tim to stop that
row and clear out; Margaret, being of a courteous disposition, asked Tim
if she were looking for anything in particular.
