Wasn't it fun? Poor Karl! I did pity you so, cooped up in the house that way. And you played the violin like an angel yourself, like a grieving one.

I think I shall have to introduce myself. Will you find the way to our trunks, please? I had the hand luggage taken off at once. It's fortunate we both belong in L.
