Augustw, who is 25 when we meet him, has just finished law school, and is studying to be a judge. He doesn't know Valentine, although he lives on the block opposite her, and probably passes by her every day. The path of Auguste's life represents that of the judge as a young man.

Hopefully, Auguste will not make the same mistakes as did his older self...

For those armed with a World-Wide Web browser (you know who you are), set the path to read http://www.music sony.com/Music/ArtistInfo/Midori.html. There, not only can one find a short biography of Midori, her Sony/CBS discography, and excerpts from critical reviews of this recording, but one can actually retrieve sound clips from this album in either 8-or 16-bit mono...
