Rose, now you’re big enough to know that real readers don’t use a bookmark, they memorised the number of the page and what was the last phrase they read.
Here’s a trick Rose. Ask everyone there to memorize the page number. Then when you get back write down every number they remember as well as what you remember. Divide the total count of the page numbers by the number of people who remembered a number. That’s the page number! Simple, right?
No serious reader like Rose would have forgotten her bookmark. If she was already reading it, she would have had to stop to come to the game, so she would have needed her bookmark then. And I guarantee that Rose puts a bookmark into her next book before she even starts it.

I got a chuckle from Sterling crawling all over Dad in the 2nd panel.

Find a leaf or see if anyone has a Kleenex.

That is why I like all the inserts in magazines and catalogs. Make great bookmarks!

Rose’s reverence for books is admirable, but I’ll stick with my Kobo. It remembers for me.

I don’t believe in bookmarks. I just memorize my page number.

Silly Rose, your intended hypothetical question is, in reality, the magic words for summoning Sterling. :P
That said, I admit to being with Rose on this—I always cringe at the practice of dogearing pages.

Oh Rose – you’re smart enough to remember what page you’re on. I used to do that and not use a book mark.

I’m with Rose. I hate it when people dog-ear book pages, especially library books.

Easy, Rose; pick up a leaf and use it as a bookmark.

I bet Wallace’s dad can spare some paper from his clipboard. Or maybe his cap bill until she’s back in the dugout.

Lastly, isn’t that why they keep Spud around?

Another reason why I like Rose: She likes books. Not just the knowledge and the stories in them, but the books themselves.
