“Somhow those Ten Men -- at the time they were called Recruiters, of course -- discovered that Constance had been at the library. Most likely one of their informants saw her come out, because it was on that very day that the brutes showed up and threatened the librarians. Who told them nothing, incidentally.'

“In the candle's flickering light, the library's thousands of books emerged from the shadows, and for a moment Nicholas could not help admiring them again. During free time he had almost never looked up from the pages he was reading, but now he saw the books anew, from without rather than from within, and was reminded of how beautiful they were simply as objects.

They were truly lovely.” LoveBookMomentsHelpingLightAgeTogetherBeautifulReadingWonderSawsPossibilityObjectsPagesShadowInfiniteLibraryPatternsLovelyCandleFree TimeAdmiringFlickering Light Author:Trenton Lee Stewart
