*even with the plot hole gone, the library still seems to contain every book ever written and then some -- Alyosha finds this out, when he goes there to read and to calm his nerves while he waits for news of Buzz. there's a script for a stage play, apparently, and he hasn't even opened it, but he looks very interested in the summary on the back.*

*John is lurking in the library, hiding from the heat as he searches out scores. he has a few sheafs of various sorts of music (Russian dances, musical scores, dance-hall songs from the turn of the century) when he finds Alyosha bent over his book* Hello, duck. Improving your mind, are you?

John ... *looking up and brightening -- modestly, but just the same* You might say that. I think I found your book.

You found my book? *he peers over Alyosha's shoulder, curious and wary--doesn't want Alyosha reading his book--*

I think it's your book. It won an award, it says, for best play. And look -- *smiling at him, sharing the back cover without any guile* There's your name, John Jeckyll.
