He was still offering to help, but in a way that was much more palatable to her as it allowed her to keep her purpose and the focus of her study secret. "That would be so lovely. If it's not too much trouble — I mean, I wouldn't want to take too much of your time," she said with a sympathetic smile. She expected that he might be busy — though she supposed she wasn't sure what he might be busy with. Helping people find books was sort of his job, wasn't it?
