                        7     “John Altman was up to his place doing some repairs on the window
                          frames, and he said it looked like the old guy read the same page of the same
                          book every day. I bet he doesn’t even know how to read.”

                        8     Carol didn’t believe Peter but decided not to make a big deal of it, and the
                          matter would have gone completely from her mind if she and her mother
                          hadn’t run into Mr. Linden the following April.

                        9     It was one of those days that the wind, swirling relentlessly from the north,
                          found every opening a poorly buttoned coat offered up and rattled the
                          windows of Brendel’s General Store ominously against their frames. Mr.
                          Linden was waiting while the clerk measured out a pound of coffee beans.
                       10     “Just the thought of a good hot cup of coffee makes me feel warmer,”
                          he said in the direction of Carol and her mother.
                       11     “Mr. Linden, do you think I could borrow one of your books one day?”
                       12     Carol’s request surprised even her.
