Wednesday morning in the Library. Caydance could not find an address for Anne-Merry and Nicolas. Sido intended to ask fellow curators. But Tyrone was a Coliseum groundskeeper, and Sido, whose attendance at a baseball game was unusual, had been at the Coliseum Monday Night when Caydance and Griff were at a sports bar. She had also been at the Coliseum on Tuesday. Tonight, she would be at the Coliseum again. The Oakland A's vs the Texas Rangers. Start Time: 7:05 PM.

At home, Caydance packed clothes and art supplies, including slides for next week's class, her hand-held slide projector, and the notebook where she wrote descriptions of student work. She and Griff had decided that because of the increased pressure of the Wolves game and because the West Coast pennant was at stake, tonight would be a good night to avoid City celebrations. They would spend the night in the coach's cottage.

Thinking about Sido's words, she wound up the music box and once again the sound of a French children’s song reverberated in her studio. "My Father was a Black Cajun jazz musician. Given the song that the music box played, he would not have thought its choice as a container surprising," Sido had remarked.
