It is of course much ado about nothing. As the young Kimrock
celebrates the Passover meal with his family, at the point when the front door is
thrown open to welcome the prophet
Elijah, who should be waiting there but Prigentia Colswain, faint and a little
dizzy, but otherwise unharmed. They
bring her in, and ply her with charoseth (the ceremonial mortar blended from dates,
nuts, apples, cinnamon and wine). She adopts her most ever-suffering pose
(which she has taken great care to copy from old images of Sarah Bernhardt) and asks
for a moment of silence while she regains her strength. Once she has gained the
full attention of all, she embarks on a lusty rendition of Chad Gadya.
