A Few Notes


Wolfram Bettel writes to Cortally Bakewell to commend his nephew Leporello Swinson who is hoping to visit Seven Dials in the Spring. Leporello is a fan of 20th century music, in particular Karlheinz Stockhausen whose final piece of work was commisioned by the Mozart Orchestra of Bologna.  As he is penning his reply, Bakewell spots Prigientia and the young Kimrock browsing around the dusty alcoves at the rear of Zangwill’s Bazaar of Curiosities. They are examining a 19th Century Etouffoirs En Acier Swiss Music Box. It is priced at three hundred pounds. Prigentia urges the young Kimrock to put in an offer for two hundred. He nervously approaches Bakewell who actually suspects that the two youngsters are intent on shoplifting.
