Paul enjoys a sandwich and the rather wonderful lemonade as he takes in Thomas' story.

"I see. Did you happen to keep inventory of your uncle's books? do you know the titles of those that went missing, or at least the theme? Perhaps there was a common thread that connected them?

"And what was your uncle's name again? Did he act any different before he went missing, like he was afraid of someone? I'm guessing it's not like him to just wander off and not return. Did he have any friends he spent time with that shared his interests? Also, would you mind if I investigated the library further? Perhaps there is a clue you overlooked."
