"Dan dia benar-benar harus segera menemukan wanita itu untuk memberitahunya bahwa dia memujanya, tetapi audiensi yang besar di hadapannya memisahkannya dari pintu, dan catatan yang sampai kepadanya melalui serangkaian tangan mengatakan bahwa dia tidak tersedia; bahwa dia melantik api; bahwa dia telah menikah dengan seorang pengusaha Amerika; bahwa dia telah menjadi karakter dalam novel; bahwa dia sudah mati."
