"Yes, of course. Please come by at your convenience. I think you will be rather pleased with progress on my end."

My! That sounds so exciting.

[and she means it, too: back home she was confined to her mansion, although she doesn't quite remember that. Nevertheless, she never got to see any operas, so the idea of seeing or even being in an opera is an enchanting one to her. She giggles lightly.]

"Would you like to audition, Miss...?"

Oh, how wonderful!

Can I count on your attendance, Fraulein Curie?

marie_cured December 15 2010, 15:31:38 UTC

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Good, I am glad to hear it. It will also be a good opportunity to assess your progress over these past several weeks.
