Coherent? NOT REALLY. XD We saw him being escorted over to the Classics section and a bunch of us quietly freaked out. We sort of hovered as he paid for his books, and my level-headed friend M. mentioned that she and I had been reading his book North the other day. I nodded in a hopefully-not-terrifying manner and added that we kept reading bits aloud over our pie.
He was delightful and amiable and undismayed (he's probably used to lots of attention from bookish young ladies).
After he left, my tiniest, most adorable colleague (t.m.a.c.) said "I feel like I just met Gandalf!" which I thought summed it up rather well.
