“They did everything and nothing and filled themselves up with idiotic facts. But he was hypnotized. They get that way from time to time. It’s a season with them. We knew he would return but we wanted him to get a taste of the life he would never have. It puts a little zing in things don’t you think?”

“Do you really think they comprehend those tiny winding ancient streets with the buildings all in blue? Personally I think it is a vanity and that’s why they are perpetually sad.”

“But shouldn’t someone tell their story? It could be comedy after all, as frivolous as their hair.”

“It was the long way around to get money is what I figure. They knew from the outset what they wanted and how to put the bait out there. No, they knew something. What a cosmic sort of game!”

“And the lines compounded a kind of beauty in them. It was odd and delightful all the same.”

“He wanted to know the oddest and most delightful of them all.”
