Depiction: Close-up of library circulating desk where there are two male employees, three female patrons, and sleeping dog.
Inscribed in plate, below: "'Pray, my dear Mr. Page,'" cried a pretty lisper, looking over a catalogue, 'will you let me have that dear "Man of Feeling," I have so long waited for: Well, this will do for one. No. 1889. "Cruel Disappointment", for another, "Reuben or Suicide", higho! No. 4746, I suppose he killed himself for love. "Seduction", yes, I want that more than any thing. "Unguarded Moments", ah we all have our unguarded moments. "True Delicacy", No. 2 that must be a silly thing by the title. "School of Virtue", heaven knows mamma gives me enough of that. "Test of Filial Duty", at any rate she puts me to that test pretty often. "Mental Pleasures", worse & worse! I'll look no longer. Oh! Stay a moment--"Mutual Attachment", "Assignation", "Frederick or the Libertine", just add these Mr. Page, & I shall not have to come again until the day after to-morrow.'"
Unsigned.
