The Horseman on the Roof Page #5

I'm sure you were.

The news tells of war

spreading throughout your Italy.

That is what compels me to write you.

You must be happy in the revolution

you so longed for,

but the tales ofbattle

fill me with worry.

I implore you to write.

At least tell me you're alive.

It was a year...

before the cholera disappeared

as it had come.

It reached Paris, and we feared

it might spread over all of France.

Last summer I went back to Aix.

Everything looks the same.

Yet nothing is.

The plague ravaged this city

more than elsewhere.

It's impossible to forget. Seeing

the carefree people, one wonders...

where they were, who they lost.

Where did you live in Aix?

You never told me.

You say so little.

You talked about a place

near the Bishop's Palace.

This might sound strange,

but I think I found the house.

For a long time,

Pauline's letter went unanswered.

She'd given up hope,

when, the following year,

a letter arrived from Italy.

Laurent de Thus knew before Pauline

that memories of Angelo would not fade.

He already knew

that when she chose to go to him,

he would open his hand...

and let her leave.
