Subsequent events followed a now familiar script. In Bilbao, another Basque city, the West German consul received a postcard from Beihl identifying the kidnapers as members of the E.T.A.-for Euskadi at Askatu-sana ("Basque Land and Liberty").

After its premiere, one wrote sardonically that "the old man" was apparently turning to belief in God. Janáček answered with a bristling postcard: "No old man, no believer. Not till I see for myself." Janáček stuck by his unbeliefs till the last. As he lay dying, a nurse asked him if he would like to make his peace with God.
