Fanciullo.
Enrico’s parents returned from their world trip with a peculiar stone portrait of a “fanciullo” in their luggage. They were circumspect about its provenance but hoped to eventually gift it to the museum. One phone call to Enrico’s friend in Rome ended the matter abruptly.

On his way home after a long night of heavy drinking avant guard composer, Koit Kukk, slipped on the ice and took a fatal fall. At the funeral his recently completed requiem received its premier performance. Members of the press duly noted the irony.

Roger.
Roger thought of himself as serious and well turned-out, but when he walked into the room he had the impression that his fellow jurors were startled by his appearance. Perhaps it was the bad haircut that Frank had given him.
