Two couples meet on a spa terrace at Nauheim. You play the husband whose wife is taking the cure; the English pair at the next table are a retired soldier and his wife. Coffee, a guidebook, and an excursion to Marburg Castle that Leonora keeps declining to fix. Your wife has waited three years to see one particular room, and the date printed above it makes Leonora look sharply at her husband. On the way inside, she asks you quietly when your wife's heart trouble began.
