Dinosaurs? Oh! it's a lovely flame; warms the cockles of my heart. Think
you you that conservators never rest? We like to give that impression. And
to some extent it is true! We do not often sleep; the nightmares of what
the next librarian/curator may think to do precludes that, most nights.
There is a joke, of sorts "that (librarian/curator/etc.) was so mean that
s/he would steal the saddle off of a nightmare".
Who are you Everett Wilkie? that you would, in para.1 console us, and in
para. 2, consign us to the tar pits.
Sincerely yours, Brer Rabbit, conservator at large.
