Once, when Melzak found empty food wrappers on the kitchen counter and asked who did it, "immediately Roxy's tail went between her legs, she had this really sheepish expression on her face, and she went to skulk on the stairs.

If you don’t feel like it, though, you can save some time and just ignore the sheepish request for you to identify yourself. Also, you can easily get the random tourists into the stacks, too. Just tell the library staff that they are your parents. While you wouldn’t necessarily expect my mom and dad to be a Japanese family of four, the cultural sensitivity...
