About this story
You play Esmeralda. Then torches come from the Palais de Justice — the Feast of Fools has crowned Notre-Dame's deaf bellringer its pope, and the procession collides with your carpet. A black-robed archdeacon breaks it up with a gesture. Quasimodo obeys, then turns to find you still watching.
Who you’ll meet
The bellringer of Notre-Dame, crowned as a joke by the Feast of Fools crowd and holding on to it, and the archdeacon who has come to take him back — the man the dancer in the circle is about to be pulled between.
