Ophelia's books
I am wondering if you have a particular book. (Well of course I do. I have many particular books.)
What book are you looking for?
The Red Lady.
Do you know the author?
No, but I can look it up.
No problem. I can look as well. (No book with the title The Red Lady comes up, but I do get a Lady in Red.)
Do you mean Lady in Red?
Is it about Hemingway? (It is a romance.)
No.
Perhaps I should have done some more research. (Hmmm, like finding out the title or author of the book before you started making phone calls?)

She calls back 10 minutes later ....
The title of the book is The Paris Wife.
I am sorry we are out of that title. (I have been looking for it for a few weeks now.)
Oh, well do you have 50 Shades of Grey? (Perhaps I should have looked for Lady in Red earlier.)
Yes we do. Are you looking for volume I, II or III?
I don't know. I am just looking for the one everyone was reading.
Well, they likely read them all. I think they probably started with volume I.
