are you quite through?
quink had never seen maria so angry
she pointed to the window
zorg, the chauffeur, was standing beside the fountain
and the moon was shining through the trees
professor quinn told me a different story, quink began
but maria turned and left the room
quink decided he might as well finish his sandwich
but when he looked around
the tall red-haired maid was taking his sandwich and highball glass away
which way was the front door?
he found himself in a long corridor
with an elevator
an elevator?
he had thought the house had only one floor
he pressed the button and waited for the elevator
as he did he remembered maria
as she had been when they were children
summering beside lake geneva
before the peace talks broke down
