Chapter 12
"Whereby the reader will be enabled to trace further the course of Miss Fanny Squeer's Love, and to ascertain whether it ran smooth or otherwise"
I only wrote that sentence because I spent all afternoon wishing I could write sentences like that. Sadly, someone else wrote it out before the words within it came into my mind. If only....
It seems such a 'modern' thing to say.

Not sure that's got much to do with libraries, Tim, but I just spent the last 15 years writing a book about a librarian who steals the literary version of the Stone of Destiny and couldn't find a publisher. It has been professionally proofed and critiqued by a published author, and it mght have a few sentences like Miss Fanny's above.
Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. If you'd like to have a look at it, I can send the Word version to you privately. There are copyright issues until 2010 but, who knows, a "searing expose of Scottish librarianship in 400 sizzling chapters with some hot gypsies thrown in" (acknowledgement to Blackadder the Third) might spice up the profession no end.
