[06:09.82]The assistant librarian,
[06:13.71]who was in charge of the room,sat at a desk in one corner.
[06:19.90]She glanced at Phillip as he came in,then went on with her work.
[06:26.61]Phillip had never been to this part of the library before.
[06:32.10]He walked around the room almost on tiptoe,
[06:37.01]afraid of disturbing the other readers with his heavy shoes.
[06:43.20]The shelves were filled with all sorts of reference books.
[06:48.79]He found nothing that was likely to interest him,
[06:53.47]until he came to a small section on photography,

[07:38.89]He had just sat down when he found the young lady assistant standing⁸ alongside him.
[07:48.19]"You must be more careful when you are handling these books."
[07:54.91]she whispered⁹ softly."By the way,how old are you?"she asked Phillip.
[08:03.11]"Thirteen,"he told her.
[08:07.11]"You're not allowed in here under the age of fourteen,you know,"the assistant said.
[08:15.80]He expected the assistant to ask him to leave.
[08:20.09]Instead,in a more kindly tone,she said,
[08:26.17]"Well,never mind.But make sure that you don't disturb the other readers again,
[08:33.88]otherwise I shall have to ask you to leave."
