flat-foot traveller following teddy’s journey

Sitting in the small market town library , I observe two librarians rescuing a teddy bear from the now abandoned children’s corner. After a brief debate, one of three colleagues remembers which little boy she saw with it earlier. Another knows them and finds the phone nr. She alerts the mother in case teddy ‘being on holiday in the library” maybe causing a bed time emergency! She seems reassured and puts teddy in a cup board “will you be alright in there – nice and dark, you can have a sleep.” Bliss to be of grandmotherly age!
