For Jiven Joe, the furs of the hare, and the shells of the turtle. As for Jaqueline; this night; a wave of transparent cloth. The aristocrat to imaginary peasant. The peasant to imaginary aristocrat. To Jaqueline Animal whispered; "you have a patience in your knees, a vampire in your heart, and virtue for your dreams." "Is laughter over language?" She had questioned softly; her eyes over her face appearing as the image acceptance behind the silk blue veil.

The room is staged through dress, fruit, lanterns, class exchange, and Jaqueline's soft question about patience, desire, virtue, and language.

This is a costume-and-gesture page. Everyone becomes legible through texture and pose, while Jaqueline stands out because she turns the exchange back toward language itself. The handwritten correction makes her reply quieter and more tentative, changing it from a simple answer into a soft question.

After the fruit is 'gone' and Marie is 'normal again,' she braces for 'the weight without a name,' and the page pulls back into composition: 'smokecloud,' 'yellow lit lanterns,' the room 'composed' of 'Courtesy and curiousity... Playful to serious smiles... Formed realities and shadowed replica's.' Animal sorts everyone by costume - 'Black suit and no luggage' for Montreal, 'brown leather for winter, skin for summer' for himself, 'furs of the hare, and the shells of the turtle' for Joe, 'a wave of transparent cloth' for Jaqueline - then frames the whole evening as 'The aristocrat to imaginary peasant. The peasant to imaginary aristocrat.' His whisper to Jaqueline, 'you have a patience in your knees, a vampire in your heart, and virtue for your dreams,' draws her soft turn back to language itself - 'Is laughter over language?' - her face 'behind the silk blue veil.'
