Nobesse oblige (or knobbly knees)

Well, that wasn't so bad. The reference library staff kept out of my way. T. Aldous and Reggie provided a model exhibition of free-form fawning that would grace any production of The Student Prince. Councillor Winalot didn't have a heart attack. And the celebrity was OK. He kept me talking for a good five minutes so hopefully we'll have a couple of pictures we can use for PR and get some favourable terms from our supplier.
