--> 03:45.692 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% because Daedalus in Greek mythology was 03:45.692 --> 03:47.727 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% the great artificer. 03:48.828 --> 03:50.730 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% And he built the Labyrinth, 03:50.730 --> 03:52.899 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% which many people see as our bookstore. 03:52.899 --> 03:55.235 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% >>My grandfather was a writer, 03:55.235 --> 03:57.403 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% and so he used to love to come in here 03:57.403 -->

04:04.744 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% He's very hard of hearing and so he just went 04:04.744 --> 04:08.047 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and got lost around the twisted passageways in here 04:08.047 --> 04:09.315 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and we couldn't find him. 04:09.315 --> 04:10.550 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% (Eleanor laughs) 04:10.550 --> 04:13.052 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% But it's funny little quirky things like that 04:13.052 --> 04:14.821 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that I enjoy about
