"In early days, I tried not to give librarians any
trouble,
which was where I made my primary mistake.
Librarians like to be given trouble; they exist for it,
they are geared to it.
For the location of a mislaid volume,
an uncatalogued item,
your good librarian has a ferret's nose.
Give her a scent and she jumps the leash,
her eye bright with battle."
