This summer-day adventure touch
ed many another spot of interest and
delight. For instance, we went-we
two-a-hunting old book shops. Cool,
dusky places instead of dark ones 60
stumble through. Clean places-this
a surprise. i, out of my experience,
had made the old book shop a sloven,
down-at-heel. Notwithstanding drab.
Nothing of the sort. as was clearly
pointed out to me. One of my first
real outings when the weather is re-
stored to normally, will be to find
that ideal shop-dusky and clean and
cool, with ghosts of writer's and
ghosts of characters following me
about and touching me with guiding
or admonitory hands here and there.
And / shall follow up-I am sure /
shall-many of the new and inter-
esting things that with a light and
passing touch were indicated to me
on that fortunate day when I ran
out of literal mess of things into
the grass while this bookish man
talked and talked in manner as
unlike the usual bookish man as one
can well imagine. He was a joy and
a delight Moreover, he came at ex-
actly the right moment-when almost
nothing in the world does come at
the right moment. More power, still,
to this genial book man who can be-
stow such gifts of pleasure!
