"You look cheerful today, love," says Mina's mother as they carry food and plates to the table. Jakin, tagging along behind with another pot, is looking grumpy as usual. "Miss Ver Susa's back!" Mina announces. "Oh yes," Stefan, returned from his shift in time for dinner, joins the conversation eagerly. "She told us all about the book thief! We've all got to keep our eyes open for him." "What does he look like?" Jakin asks. Stefan beams at being invited to impart knowledge. "He's a no-horn. He's tall, with long black hair. He wears a hat and cloak."
