The Clock Winked (The Sagittan Chronicles Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
A slight fog, napping street lamps, and the occasional person shrouded in a long coat and gloves were all that punctuated the utter dullness which began the day. The odds of anything changing were actually quite high, however, because the moment you begin to appreciate tedium is the moment it rapidly disappears. The wooden sign over the small shop creaked. Then the bell rang. This particular bell rang so infrequently, that the young and rather uncouth William Oliphant, XXXIV, esquire, looked up, utterly surprised. The bell which hung on the door to his little book shop never rang. In fact, he had so few customers that one afternoon he thought he was being robbed and nearly called the police—until the gentleman set his stack of purchases on the counter and offered to pay. A vaguely familiar face looked over the counter at him. “Hello,” said the boy. “I'm here to start my internship.” “What?” Oliphant swung his feet off the counter and dragged himself out of the low, comfortably stuffed chair which he kept behind the counter.
