Ringed with wooden stands, Huygens Tech's football field was not precisely a stadium. On September 9, 1989, near Caydance's seat in the stands, four musicians, were playing a band-like variation of Laurie Anderson's "O Superman" without the lyrics, except for "uh uh uh".

While she waited for the teams to take the field, Caydance was remembering that she had seen Christine Pizan's name in Judy Chicago's Dinner Party, probably at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, where on the long tables bearing handmade plates for legendary women, Pizan was represented by a butterfly, created in color-laden ribbon candy swirls. In front of the cloth that underlay her plate was a scene in which Christine de Pizan presented her Livre de la Cite des Dames to Queen Isabeau of France.

Born in Venice, de Pizan died in 1430. Long before Charles VIII was born, the French Court residences of this medieval scribe were Paris and Burgundy. If, as Giselle thought, the music box-hidden Book of Hours was lost in Italy when Charles marched across the Apennines, it was too much later and too image-dense to be by Pizan. Could, not knowing who created the Book of Hours, the maker of the music box been inspired to use Pizan's name because she remembered the Dinner Party plate?
