Not all research [[Kaine]]

[adifferentlife]

The library has turned into a wonderful resource for Sybil. Always an avid reader, she's discovered the books there are the best way to catch up on all that has happened in the years since her own time and the time most people in Darrow are from. Her choices that day aren't all for research, copies of the first two Anne of Green Gables books, A Princess of Mars (which had a rather scandalous cover), and The Primrose Ring. All books of her own time and all for comfort, to help offset the history books she has piled up on a table.

Her true delight was discovering that the library has phonograph records. She looks through the titles recognising so few. Finally she pulls out Gershwin and Billie Holiday almost at random. American composers and an American singer. It suits, she thinks, with all the Americans here.

Content with her finds, she settles back in at the out of the way table she's picked, determined to skim through the 1940s and 1950s before the library shuts.

I've spent more time in the library the last few days than I ever have before. I'm looking for anything that might give me a clue about this place. I've been piling up a lot of information but the more I have to sort through the better idea I can have of what this place is.

I almost don't notice Sybil until I'm almost on top of her. She's impossible to miss, what with her clothing and her general way of carrying herself but I'm so lost in thought that I didn't notice her until I almost walked right by her.

I would have kept going too except I was so surprised that I called out her name like an idiot.
