Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spell" data-source="post: 2673116" data-attributes="member: 19718">Wednesday, September 2 1931 - 7.00 pmAnotnio finds Father Cromwell in the parish library, absorbed in the reading of a big tome."Good evening, Father. I hope I am not disturbing you too much." he whispers.With a movement of his hand, Father Cromwell invites Antonio to sit at the table with him."No, Father, I am afraid that this is going to be a long talk. Maybe, if that is not too much hassle for you, we could start heading towards the restaurant, and have a talk as we walk."The streets are nearly empty. Silence seems to envelop Antonio Solari and Father Cromwell like a cloud. As they walk down the dark wet alleys, Antonio explains his position to Father Cromwell. The need to do something for his friend Tibor and the desire to see Europe and Italy once again are compelling imperatives... but how could he leave Lucy in Arkham, alone?Wouldn't it be better to bring her along with them, in Europe? And, if so, could Father Cromwell suggest someone to join them to keep an eye of the girl when Antonio had to go away to the prison where Tibor is supposedly held captive?As he talks, Antonio seems old and tired. It's as if his inner strength had been drawn by his latest misfortunes and the death of his wife."I will not hide the truth from you, Father. Ever since she died, my life has become meaningless. If it wasn't for Lucy, God knows if I wouldn't let myself die. The pain I feel inside is almost unbearable. I would like to do all the best for my daughter, my relatives and friends... but I couldn't stand another failure again."</blockquote>
