I was invited to the Bathurst Library, named after a mill,
which has since closed, to talk about The Alford Saga.
The library itself is splendid. In my view,
New Brunswick has the best library system of any province.
The head of the library, young Mathieu Lanteigne, introduced me.
I spoke about The Gunner in a small but comfortable room at City Hall.
Afterwards, book-buyers wanted their picture taken with Joan.
Mathieu sold the books.
One buyer, Leonard Wylie, is from a well-known family in Shigawake.
Unlike those occasions when I talk to hundreds,
a majority of this audience bought books.
