To the little bird that was trapped in the Reading Room: I'm sorry that I stopped to take a photo of your beautiful feathers while you paused for breath between frantic thrashes at the window. If you'd sat still a moment longer I would have somehow opened the sill you were sitting on before you leapt down to Chocolat's level. That I then chased you out onto the landing was only to get between you and her salivating jaws. You somehow eluded both of us then and I can only hope you found another way out. Thankfully Chocolat doesn't seem to know where you are.. but she doesn't give up easily.
