“What is the reason?” Claude asked again, stunned by the sight of such pain and horror. “Who is fighting and why?”

Before Elena could answer, the museum bell once again announced the end of the day. “Tomorrow,” she promised hastily. How thankful for the delay she seemed.

The next day Elena did her best to direct Claude’s attention elsewhere, suggesting among other things a visit to the nearby monastery, well known for its good works and even more renowned for the excellence of its chapel—the finest example of its particular style in the region. But he would not be turned away, and back up and over the hill they went. The battle still raged. It was terrible, and yet to Claude it was in a way also fascinating and unreal, seeing all those distant figures moving about like the pieces in a game. He moved forward, down the hill, closer, leading Elena by the hand. When they had reached the shelter of a large boulder only a few hundred yards away they stopped, and with no other delay possible she reluctantly told her story.
