"What a genius they have, for the small change of freedom"




Shall it be Kings, then, for Easter this year?
Oh, I don't see why not. We promised ourselves.
But you died.
Couldn't be helped. I'll still go with you.
They'll let you?
Haven't you figured it out? They haven't any choice anymore.
Yes. I owe you for that.

  4. Yes, thank you; the "Kings thing" was always about the music of that fabulous choir.
