"I bet you've tried to trace it back to the owner,'' she said afterwards and at the same time she was looking towards the bookshelf to locate the case full of boxes.
A fellow bookworm? The woman was more than pleased to hear this and it showed because she smiled brightly. It meant that they could recommend books to each other. How wonderful! "Thank you.'' She took the cup then proceeded to take a sip. "I actually haven't read Carmilla. Do you have a copy that I can borrow?'' Since it was being recommended, why would she not want to give it a shot? "The Wizard of Oz, I have. I actually prefer the book over the movie even though the movie has become a classic. It's just that being swept up in words is a lot more interesting. And the writer did a fantastic job.'' Had he ever tried to trace the owner of the music box? "I have indeed. Usually I succeed when trying to find someone's descendants or histories of ancient artifacts. Not so much here. Ah well. I suppose some things are better left mysteries, at least for now."
Something a little less mysterious - but no less wonderful, was literate. It was nice seeing how much Kay cared about classics. He too had a fond spot for them. "Here is Carmilla," he said, and he walked over to his bookcase and took out a slim volume. "By Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, considered by many scholars to be the inspiration behind Bram Stoker's Dracula. You may take it with you when you leave. I'm sure you'll like it - if not for the style, then for the historical relevance."
He was reminded of something then. "By the way, as a switch of subject, I have to say I'm impressed by the enthusiasm your students have for the homework you give them. Creative, telling them to paint the school walls in shades of neon pink and bright blue."
Thinking of you, Ms. Zoryn. |
