it was a bookcase a barrister bookcase not a sexy birthday gift utterly functional  she always knew exactly what to give him 

         she knew he was simple

                                               

Awbabe I love it

Yes you do.

he laughed 

             Yare not even going to feign modesty 

  No.  she smiled sensational dimples 

                                       Many books you have most people don’t . or even know exist and, besides, the girls will eventually be interested anif the books are laying about they’ll get into them without us knowing . . they’re not youthey she noddedshe nodded absently when something worried her  they have to be older than you were when you first read them . you were precocious for your age   I didntwe didnt have vacations as kids so books were my escape   Yes, I know, I understand.   I wasnt necessarily precocious   Stop. You were.   Keeping the books in the bookcase, your library, you tell the girlslet them know . they have to ask you if they want to read them . . then we’ll know together what they’re reading . . . your parents never knew what you were reading.

I understandsmart However if they ask theyre welcome to whaever books I have

Yes, but they’ll have to ask first.  You didn’t, you sought them out, bought them . . how . when so many were banned . . how?

he winked I knew the right people impressed booksellers I was parchedthey coudnt resist satisfying my thirst 

                                                                                                                     So you understandwere in agreement  girls ask  my books are for the taking

Yes, yes . I do . . but they are not as . promiscuous . as youdespite what you think.  Girls are different than boys.

Not my girls . .

. . Yes your girls. They, despite what you think, are not as outrageous as you. They’ll look at the books. Wonder. Maybe even try to acquire titles without coming to you . or me . but despite your, what shall I call it . . . heavyhandedness . that’s correct I think . . they aren’t you.

Heavyhandedness his turn to nod   Theyre not like you

No.

    No, you’ve made sure of that . but they have my tact, share some sensibilities that you  have  not.  They have my measured sensibilities.

  they did 

              he teased her and the girls that they raised him
