If Clara likes books, chances are the bookstore owner knows her reasonably well and might have an idea of something to give her. It's worth a try, at least.

Anna goes to the bookstore. It's pretty small. She can only really see two bookshelves in the back.

She asks if the shopkeeper has any books that Clara would like. And not have.

The shopkeeper replies that a shipment came in just yesterday so there's a lot of new books for sale. There's one that she might be interested in.



Anna doubts that Clara would like a joke book.

The shopkeeper gives her a disapproving stare and informs Anna that it's not a joke book.

Anna pays for it and the shopkeeper gives her a little nod and says, "Please come again, sir."





The trek up the hill seems harder every time.



Anna knocks.



There is no answer.



...Did that shopkeeper just call her 'sir'?
