QUOTE : For the first time in all her years at Mr. Seymour's, Nora took a seat in the library, surveying her surroundings....What immediately captured Nora's imagination were the books lining the walls, hundreds of leather-bound editions of varying sizes and shapes. Nora was seized with the impulse to stand up and inspect each one of them, to circle the perimeter of the room and read their leather spines as she ran her fingers across them. What a fortune and blessing it would be to possess so many books, to live and love and prosper inside them, each one a small world in itself.
