grabbed their coats. Katie locked the store and they headed towards the library to learn more about the mystery of the 18th century bracelets and the 19th Century Lord James Walsh.

Chapter 8: The Enchanted Bookcase
    ~*~
    When they arrived at the library, they were greeted by a lovely lady with silvery lavender hair and prominent cheek bones. She was the librarian. She was sitting quietly, reading behind an antique desk.
    “Hello girls,” she said as she looked up from her bifocals. “How can I help you?”
    Katie smiled back. “Do you have any historical books on Lord James Walsh of the 19th Century? He is known as the Lord in the story called…”
    Before Katie could finish, the librarian did. “The Time Travelling Love Affair?”
    K atie was surprised as she glanced at Chloe and back at the librarian. “You know the story?”
    “Very well,” the l ibrarian replied. “It is part of my heritage. My name is Abbey Walsh-McMullen. I’ve been researching my family tree for the last thirty years. It was only in the last five that I was able to trace my ancestry back to the 19th Century Walsh family and then back even further to their 18th Century family heritage of Irish Lords and Ladies. Fascinating time. Just fascinating.”
    A surge of excitement coursed through both Chloe and Katie. They could not believe their luck. They had not only found someone who knew about the history of the Walsh family, but someone who was actually related to them.
    Abbey folded her slender arms. “Outside of antique dealers and collectors, I’ve never had anyone come in wanting to know about the Walsh family. Why are two young lassies like yourselves interested in an 19th Century Lord anyway? Are you doing a project on the Walsh family? Is that why you’re here?” Abbey asked inquisitively.
    Katie was hesitant to give the l ibrarian too much information before finding out a little bit more.
    “Do you know anything about the time travelling br acelets that Reid Walsh wrote about?” Katie asked. Katie had the bracelet on her wrist, but it was hidden under the sleeve of her jacket and she wanted to keep it that way. She liked to wear it as often as she could. It made her feel close to her mum, wherever she was. Somehow, she knew the bracelet was linked with her disappearance. Until they solved the mystery, she wanted to make sure it was always with her just in case.
    “Ah. The bracelets. So many antique dealers and collectors have come here looking for the same information. I’ve heard that they are worth a lot of money,” the librarian said as she got up from her chair. “Come with me, lassies. I have a whole collection of books from the 18th and 19th Century about the Walsh family and their relatives. Maybe you can find what you’re looking for there. I like to read them on slow days. Hobby of mine,” the Librarian confessed in a very friendly voice as she continued on.
    “When I first started looking into my family tree, it was just for a bit of fun really. I was studying to become a librarian as part of my university degree. I had to do a genealogy project for one of my assignments. At that time, I had no idea that I had any connection to the Walsh family, but the more I researched, the more secrets unfolded from my family’s past. I’ve been studying it ever since.” The librarian chattered happily. She carried on talking as she guided them towards a small room at the back of the library. Chloe and Katie were enthralled by her level of knowledge on the Walsh family history.
    “From what I read and researched, the bracelets are supposed to have a time traveling ability. They allow the wearers of both brace lets to travel back and forth through time. Personally, I think that’s all hooey – old wives tales and such – but it keeps the story alive. Those who believe in the bracelets are prepared to pay a pretty penny to own them.” She guided them into a room that was full of books.
    “Wow! These books must be
