Mr. Smith was bringing so many books into his warehouse.
At that time, Ms Jane saw it.
Later, Ms Jane is talking for his moving books with another her friend.

Ms Susan: What kind of the book were they?
Ms Jane: There was this one book about the breaking of curses, and another about backfiring curses,and ritual proceedings....
Ms Susan. I see.
