...their double destiny. When she imagines a life full of love and beauty, Henry scoffs at her "elegant mirages" and pulls back into his hole. When he pulls back too far, she flies off to her air castle and shares it with a succession of inappropriate inamorati: a thieving thespian, a dim-witted trigamist, a great white hunter who inconsiderately gets swallowed by a lion...
