Inside, past the black wood gate in the garden of St. Francis, absolute silence prevails. Long unoccupied benches line the walls. A disparate growth of ivy has worked half-way up the stone. The grass needs cutting and fall leaves have gathered in brown clumps on the walk...

Caitlin recalls every turn of their sometimes amusing, often pathetic affair. Elba proved as strait-laced as Laugharne, Wales, and the time came when the hissed words "Prostituta, prostituta" sounded in her ears...
