Christine hadn't gotten far when a woman who was propriety in human form got her attention wanting to go into the shop. She looked from her to the children and immediately forced a professional smile upon her face. "Of course..."

She turned back and opened up the place letting them inside. She leaned down to pick up Archimedes, the bundle of white fur, before the children could go after him. The woman seemed quite in control and they seemed well behaved, but sometimes children lost their minds around animals. "Romance of the Three R's, you said?" She seemed in thought and began to walk through narrow row upon narrow row of books. "It is here, no worries..."

Ah, yes. It was in a section of books she knew well. Her father had her read it several times, she'd almost memorized the thing. "Here, madam." She said as she offered it over with a smile. The woman's speech was perfect but with an accent as if she'd just stepped out of France. It reminded her fondly of someone she'd hope would visit again soon for more reading lessons.

"Is there anything else I can help you with? I have some fun books the children might enjoy. As well as other books that are good for learning."
