“I still remember one from when I was a child. It was about a bear trying to get into a jar of honey. He never gave up. I thought about that when I was trying to get clean. I had to just keep on trying to open that honey jar.鈥� 鈥淚 liked to read to my kids when they were young. My son much preferred my wife to do it, but when I got to do it, it felt really special. I liked the stories, too.鈥� 鈥淓veryone has a good story to tell, Arthur. If you鈥檇 have told me last night that I鈥檇 have an adventurous old bloke kipping at my house for the night, I鈥檇 think I was going mad. But here you are. You鈥檙e all right, Arthur, for a posh pensioner,鈥� he teased. 鈥淎nd so are you, for a bit of a scruffbag.”

“You can鈥檛 stop people doing what they want to do if they really want to do it. Perhaps she thought that her life before you was no longer relevant. Sometimes when you鈥檝e lived a chapter of your life, you don鈥檛 want to look back. I lost five years of my life through drugs. All I remember is waking up feeling like shit, or roaming the streets looking to score, or the delirium after I鈥檇 shot up. I don鈥檛 ever want to look back at that. I want to get back on my feet, get a proper job, maybe find a girl who鈥檚 good for me.鈥� Arthur nodded. He understood what Mike was saying,”

“It was one year, to the day, that his wife had died.

“Except that everything wouldn鈥檛 be normal again, because this search had stirred something inside him. This was no longer just about Miriam. It was about himself, too. He was experiencing emotions he didn鈥檛 know existed. He had begun to discover people and animals that excited him. He wasn鈥檛 ready to rot away in his armchair, mourning his wife and waiting for his children to call, and filling his days with plant-watering and TV. And so even if the emotion he felt for this De Chauffant bloke was apprehension and jealousy, it made him feel alive. He needed a jolt to his system. Something to shake him out of the cozy prison he had created for himself. In a home where memories of Miriam were still fresh, he needed something else. He would go home to see that Frederica was fine and watered and pick up some more clothes. Then he would continue his journey.”

“As she read, she felt she was giving this story a new life of its own. It was no longer a reflection of her childhood and whatever happened within the Storm family. It was just a story, to be shared and enjoyed.”
― Phaedra Patrick, The Library of Lost and Found

“Lucy wished she could address her own life and worries like that; that she could get a message from her father saying that he had been attacked by a tiger and think, Oh, well, at least he鈥檚 alive. These things happen. That鈥檚 how Dan would tackle it.”
― Phaedra Patrick, The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper

“Is coffee okay? I鈥檝e run out of tea.鈥� Arthur nodded and sat down on the sofa. Lucy leaped up and settled on his lap. He stroked her head and she looked up at him with her orange eyes. 鈥淲here鈥檚 next on your travels?鈥� Mike said as he placed two steaming mugs on the table. 鈥淲hat鈥檚 the next charm you鈥檙e trying to trace?鈥� 鈥淚 don鈥檛 know. I鈥檓 intrigued by the paint palette. And I haven鈥檛 thought about my mother-in-law for years. Or perhaps I should just stop searching. It makes my head hurt.鈥� 鈥淵ou should never give up,鈥� Mike said. 鈥淭hose charms on your bracelet could be lucky.”
