I&039;luttony is a sin Then a spiritual friend of mine explained Gluttony is not so very terrible in itself But it&039;s a sign of a base soul The sa applies to debauchery The soul doesn&039;t beco these acts A base soul h theet under his skin that easily

Roone for a moment Where&039;s everyone else?
Ro There&039;s just the two of us
IsoldA
What&039;s outside your door?
Roher thanbetween the bushes is a dirt pathway
IsoldA
And I&039;ve got the sa the sides of an alley
Romeo-y-Cohiba
An alley?
IsoldA
My door opens into a park The alley starts right outside and along the sides there are bushes With treetops showing above theot is more like a corridor between the bushes, I wouldn&039;t call it an alley And it starts winding straightaway, so I can&039;t see anything but leaves It&039;selse, neatly sliced through the bushes by so like a coround there?
Roe here too We&039;re near each other!
Romeo-y-Cohiba
What else did you see?
IsoldA
I didn&039;t go very far There are lots of alleys, and they keep branching and twisting and turning corners I wasn&039;t afraid in the least Quite the opposite, what I saw gave ht be coet lost in
Romeo-y-Cohiba
Why?
IsoldA
Because there&039;s a plan hanging at every place the path branches And there&039;s a little sign on the plan: &039;You are here&039;
Roht And wasn&039;t there any little sign saying: &039;The Minotaur is here&039;?
IsoldA
No
Ro Did you meet anyone?
IsoldA
No But several ti there was someone just round the corner
Ro like what Ariadne was talking about?
IsoldA
Yes, kind of Only not exactly Once I spotted so way off And I saw fountains with different kinds of figures
Romeo-y-Cohiba
Like the one Ariadne talked about?
IsoldA
I don&039;t knoent through a few forks in the path and at every one there was a smallI don&039;t knohat to call it - an oasis, I suppose Trees and a fountain with bronze figures of ani each other, with their faces lifted up to the sky Theirthin strea out To be quite honest, it looked a bit ridiculous, as though they were spitting at an invisible ceiling that was too high, so that everything just fell back down on their own heads At another fork there was a fountain with a fox and a crow The croas high up in the tree, and so big it lookedup to it, hidden a up at the crow as though it was trying to hit it with the strea out of its throat, but it couldn&039;t reach high enough The crow had its wings pulled back and up and its beak was open, and there was another streaht of the foxI can understand
IsoldA
What do you understand?
Romeo-y-Cohiba
Take no notice You&039;re a wonderful storyteller, Isolde It was like seeing it all with ot to say The plan that was hanging everywhere lookedAnd written on it in this strange oblique typeface was: plan du labirinthe de versaillesWhat could that mean? Is it from the word &039;verse&039;? Because there are characters from fables in the fountains?
Romeo-y-Cohiba
A plan of the labyrinth at Versailles That&039;s a real piece of luck
IsoldA
Versailles? Then why is it written with a sest that&039;s not really the strangest thing about our surroundings
