@pcppins​ LIKED FOR A STARTER!

               “They sometimes might act like children but I’m not sure they needed a NANNY.”

"What are you talking about, man? There's no such word!"

"Well now, that don't seem likely, does it?"

"I beg your pardon, are you ill?"

"In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun."

"I don't know what we did, but it must have been something dreadful."

"Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down."

"Is that so? We'll have to see about that one then, won't we?"

"We better keep an eye on this one. She's tricky."

"And you brought your references, I presume; may I see them?"

"Go? What on earth are you talking about?"

"I feel a surge of deep satisfaction, much as a king astride his noble steed."

"That's a piecrust promise. Easily made, easily broken."

"Well, of course they're here! Where else would they be?"

"People who get their feet wet must learn to take their medicine."

"What is the meaning of this outrage?"

"Shut the window. That bird is giving me a headache."

"Yes, well, I always know what to say."

"Will you be good enough to explain all this?"

"I suggest you have this piano repaired. When I sit down to an instrument, I like to have it in tune."

"No, and that was nothing like a good joke."

"First of all, I would like to make one thing quite clear. I never explain anything."

"That's gratitude for you. Didn't even say goodbye?"

„CARSEN? Is that you?“ One should think you got used to the sound of an elevator faster than the fact you were working in a MAGICAL library that hardly anyone had ever heard about. But it wasn’t the case. The elevator was barely used. She used it in the morning to come here and early night to leave. Flynn Carsen seemed to live in the library. She could not remember seeing him use the elevator and as she stepped into the small hall she saw that it was NOT a familiar face at all. A woman looking like she had come straight out of another century. An eyebrow quirked, Eve just looked hat her for a moment, her head slowly tilting to the side.

   “Can I help you?” It was not POLITENESS that made her ask but curiosity and.. she was probably forced to ask anyway since her new job was to PROTECT THIS PLACE. And this woman was a stranger. How had she even gotten here? Could SHE be any sort of danger? Eve was ready. Her hand unobtrusively wandering to her belt.

The compact clicks closed at the sound of the new voice – of course Mary Poppins is expecting new faces as the librarian that helped her all those years ago have long been naught but a memory. Skirts rustle once again as she descends the stairs to stand face to face with the brash woman. 

She stands with perfect posture, toes turned out. Her umbrella is still neatly tucked under her arm, carved handle peeking out under her gloved hand. A worn carpet bag floats silently to the ground as her free hand extends for the other woman to shake.

“Ah yes, you must be the guardian,” she says matter of factly, “An honourable position, you must be very proud.... I’m in need of the aide of The Library. What other reason might I show up on your doorstep, really.” She takes a moment to glance around and take in the new layout, “I must say it was easy enough to enter. Even with the inconveniences of the modern library upstairs. Then again, I’m sure The Library is more than capable of sensing a friend – we have worked together before. Perhaps I can speak to Charlene – or Judson, if he’s available. I suppose your Librarian will want to be present as well, shall we simply gather everyone?”

        clara spins on the spot, excitement at meeting such an interesting person bubbling over yet again. the doctor’s one thing, but mary poppins here? well, clara reckons she’s something else altogether. the nanny and the make-believe governess; what are they to do?  ❝ i think we should leave him to his impossibility for a while. we’re clever enough without him. ❞
