Venetian masks (2)

Après party...

.

Domenico: So how did it go?

.

Lucretia: Everyone came, braving the countryside, suffering through confusing directions, surviving the CoCo bus ride or hikes through fields, bringing gourmet delicacies and enduring rounds of Proustian jousting. A day to remember, seeing everyone, reawakening memories, and creating some new ones. They were all brilliant.

Domenico: And they all answered the Proust questions?

.

Lucretia: With aplomb.

.

Domenico: And the Venetian masks?

.

Lucretia: Absolutely necessary. The true self emerges from behind a mask.
