though aggrieved at sdeh Irreverent
treatment, but visitors and attendants
alike moved about with silent tread,
rubber caps rendered chair legs noise
less when they were moved, and the
very card catalogue drawers moved
I on silent ways.
I Linda loved this quiet. After" the
i clatter and clutter of a busy office,
[ which Bhe had been compelled to es
