A little note for fun...
- What a triumph, this reception at the Big Library! You must be proud, you the Librarian!
- Yes, that’s something to be proud of. Did you notice the guests? A Minister, an Ambassador, a President, the Dean of the Professors’ Literature team, the Director of the University…
- Excuse me, Sir…
- Don’t you see it’s closed?
- Yes, I did; but, I’m writing a book…
- Come another day; you’re disturbing us, indeed.
(Praecor)
