Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

[ she reads the words with a clear voice that can only be described as enthusiastic, she found them clever, exciting, as only a true lover of literature may think of words. ]

Is there a limit to the number of books we're allowed to burrow from the library at a given time? I wasn't sure and I couldn't find someone to ask.

If anyone knows where there are books that are written in other languages, I'd like to talk to them, please. I found study books but not novels. I want to practice my Russian.

Hamlet thought too much.

[ that's the way she chooses to open this. Musing aloud. ]

He thought and he talked and he talked, and he has the most beautiful - soliloquies, I read they are called. He talks about all the things he thinks about but he doesn't do anything and in the end nobody of them does anything but Laertes. It's a sad story but I don't think it has to be. If Hamlet did something instead of all the thinking and the soliloquies maybe it would have had a better end.

[ the things six years old think about these days. ]

He could change it from a tragedy to just...a story. You don't have to make it a tragedy. It can be a sad story at the beginning and some things aren't fair but it doesn't have to be this way.

[ a beat. ]

I'm sorry. I don't really know how to say it, but when something is bad, like brothers or daddies or aunts and principals and evil kings like Claudius, then they're bad but it doesn't have to end badly too. At least that's what I think. I heard this story about a girl who had a wonderful life but then it all changed and became terrible but she changed her story and made it better. I think I like hers more.

[ As some people may have noticed, a few colorful ads have been hanged about the castle, mainly in the most crowded areas. Now you may hear the voice of the girl who hanged them, as she'll read the content of one. ]

Needed: a teacher.

To teach one of the following subjects!

Math; mostly including algebra and geometry, geography, history, literature and poetry, foreign languages of any kind, law.

I know there are people from many worlds in the castle and would appreciate learning of other worlds and their cultures, not just my own.

My name is Matilda Womrwood, I am six and half years old and can be found in the library. I would be very grateful for any help at all.

[ maybe she wrote down that little speech.

action; Matilda can be found sitting in an armchair in the library, surrounded by books of various subjects. Some of them are study books, others are novels. Currently, she's reading Hamlet. ]
