I saw the old man today. He took me into his "mansion" and sent me upstairs to find a book for him. The shelves were at the top of the house, in a room with a ceiling almost 10 meters high. There was no ladder, one had to climb the shelves to reach the top, and so that is what I did. There was much in the genre of cosmic horror there, many Lovecraft collections and such. I made a mental note to ask about it later. I found no book where he said it would be, although there was a single drinking glass. I took it downstairs to him, and he seemed pleased. He then asked me to go outside to the garden to get the second. I head there now.
