The Overdue
List.

01 / 06

The librarian sets the thick overdue ledger before War Penguin.

Librarian

Since you were so prompt, there are one or two others.

02 / 06

The librarian turns many pages of the overdue ledger.

Librarian

Some of these go back to before the war.

03 / 06

War Penguin’s place at the desk is empty.

04 / 06

A startled porter watches Harcourt’s armchair pass on the returns trolley; Harcourt keeps reading.

05 / 06

At the back-room door, the librarian ticks entries in her ledger.

Librarian

Splendid.

06 / 06

A long row of reading dons, each chair labelled. Harcourt keeps reading. Jack Lewis is shelved under L and looks put out. War Penguin stands at the end.
