Chapter 1
Mainly Concerning Books
'Books!' said Tuppence.
She produced the word rather with the effect of a bad-tempered explosion.
'What did you say?' said Tommy. Tuppence looked across the room at him. 'I said "books"; she said. 'I see what you mean,' said Thomas Beresford. In front of Tuppence were three large packing cases. From each of them various books had been extracted. The larger part of them were still filled with books. 'It's incredible,' said Tuppence. 'You mean the room they take up?' 'Yes.'
'Are you trying to put them all on the shelves?' 'I don't know what I'm trying to do,' said Tuppence. 'That's the awkward part of it. One doesn't know ever, exactly, what one wants to do. Oh dear,' she sighed.
