Out of Milliways: Beauford Visits
Gotham Public Library is a sterling example of the art deco style architecture the city is famous for. Sharp, pointed windows reach up above heavy, glass fronted doors, which Dinah has to brace herself against to heave open, leaving room to let Beauford into the grandiose entrance hall, with its combination information and check-out desk at the other side of a wide tiled floor.
"Welcome to Gotham Public Library!" she says. "First things first: I have to pay my late fees."

Not that being so absolutely thrilled with the chance to access GOTHAM LIBRARY for the most recent articles on archaeology isn't a wonderful thing, but he is probably not the only one catching that glare at the scenery.
"Flint-knapping!"
...oh he said that aloud didn't he.

...his ears, just turning so red-pink at the tips.

He's got that look. You know the one, you usually see it on dogs and there's bacon involved.
"We could give that a go, the next time I visit Gotham..."
