[oh, Estellise, there's no competition, but if there was she'd be winning it. About the time his eyes read "shepherd's pie" Rincewind's brows are halfway up his forehead. He gives the food a thorough, suspicious look-over (old habits), but the moment he actually takes a bite on his lunch break, it's all quickly (and happily) devoured.
Well! The least he can do in return is answer the polite young woman's request. He doesn't know when she'll next be in, but he takes care to write a short return note to keep at the front desk, in case he's not there the next time she returns.]
Dear Miss Estellise, The shepherd's pie was lovely, your neighbor has a gift with potatoes. I'm afraid the modern histories we carry tend to have something of an obvious bias (not that most histories don't), but I did learn some things from Where We Are Now by Mr. Norman Pritchard when I first arrived here. I know what it's like to be thrust somewhere new and frightening.
Botany I'm even less versed in. There are a few plant encyclopedias with helpful pictures, though, those might be helpful. - Rincewind, Nonah Assistant Librarian
