"Just me and a good book, without a good book. There needs to be another bookstore in town. Of course, that's after I get all the exams graded. Why did I schedule two tests in one week?"

"So you and a boring book," said Janet. "Why don't you--and I know this is a surprising concept, given that you were librarian for an entire semester--check a novel out of the library?" She smirked. "And you scheduled two tests in one week because you like to overwork yourself, apparently. Or you wanted to get all of the suffering over with quickly."

Methos looks at her. "Good God. They have BOOKS in the library? Why didn't anyone tell me?" He ruins it by chuckling. "Honestly? Never occurs to me to go looking for casual reading material in a library. And I think you're right about getting the suffering over quickly. But next week we start getting into the Romans. I'm... going to enjoy myself."

"When in Rome, did you really do as they did?" asked Janet, her eyes twinkling mischievously. Because really, how often did you get to ask that of someone who may well have been in Rome during the Roman Empire? "There's casual reading material and then there's fluff. But both are available in the library. I'd imagine if you went in there some time, you'd be swarmed by sarcasm library aides."

"When in most cultures, you really do what the predominant group did, especially if you were trying to be sneaky and not get burned at the stake. That goes... all right, it doesn't go double for Rome. Madrid during the Inquisition, perhaps. And when did we get romance novels about centaurs and mermaids fluff in the library? This is what happens when you hire a monkey."

"You should really talk to Zero about burning at the stake," said Janet. "Locker 327 sent her to Medieval Scotland. We've had fluff in the library for a while, but I didn't know about it until Ivanova came in looking for romance novels." Janet just laughed.
