Tuesday June 14th

I found it hard to concentrate on my work today. The Head Librarian, Mrs Froggatt (fat, fifty and with the colouring and features of a jaundiced badger), said at lunchtime, 'Mole, you've moved all our Jane Austens from the great English Classics section to the Light Romance Section, pray explain.' I snapped, 'In my opinion they have been given their proper classification. Jane Austen's novels are merely trashy romances read only by snobbish, brainless cretins.' How was I to know that 'Jane Austen, Her Genius, Her Relevance to England in the 1950s' was the subject of Mrs Froggatt's dissertation for her degree in English Literature many years before I was born? As I've said earlier in my diary, we didn't discuss books or writers in the library.

That afternoon I was called into Mrs Froggatt's room. She informed me that the library was cutting down on staff due to Government financial restraints. I asked how many staff would be asked to leave. 'Just the one,' said the Jane Austen admirer, 'and, since you were the last to come, Adrian, you must also be the first to go.' Homeless and jobless!
