Help from a Stranger
Labels:
Digressions
A few weeks ago I mentioned that I left a library book (Ysabel, by Guy Gavriel Kay) in the airline seat pocket on a flight from Madison, Wisconsin, to Minneapolis, Minnesota. A few days ago I went to the library, armed with my checkbook, to pay for this lost volume. When the library clerk pulled up my record she discovered that the book had been returned! I don't know if thanks are due to someone who works at Northwest Airlines, or to a good Samaritan passenger (maybe someone en route home to Madison?) who found my book and returned it to the Madison Public Library, but whoever did it, I am very grateful. Thanks for saving me the cost of a hardback and for making this book available for others to read. What a nice feeling it was to discover this!

Wow, that is fantastic news. Someone was really nice!
So very Midwestern!
That's so wonderful that someone would take the time to do this!
What a great story.
Glad it worked out.
I just read Ysabel. Terrific book!
