She wants to hold them, but then says the books are too heavy. Henry has had enough and has an idea when they are going to get a drink of water when he sees a poster that says the librarian is going to be reading a book. Of course she did not want to do this either. When the librarian started reading Beatrice said in her chair and stared out the window until she heard something that she found interesting in the book, "Albert Mouse had new roller skates". Beatrice loved to roller skate. The book reminded her of the time that she had roller skated in the house, which made her laugh.
