Miss Tuft was an old librarian. And as old librarians go, she was tiny, bespectacled and had silver-gray hair. Although she was old, she was not slow. At all. In fact she was faster than most and would often be seen darting around the bookshelves looking for pilferers, loiterers and correcting people on their manners. Anyone who knew her knew she was the world’s best librarian ever. What she loved the most were old books – she loved the smell, the feel and even the fancy edged letters. One day, old Miss Tuft went missing. Seven year old Queenie Smith said that she saw Miss Tuft near the encyclopedias, the day she disappeared. Some say she turned into a tiny silverfish with spectacles. So if you see a quick, agile, little silverfish with glasses near the encyclopedias, be sure to say ‘Good Morning’.
