News of Kirsten continued to reach me through the numerous activities that she organised to keep Hashem’s memory and his mission alive. Kirsten, I was told, had dedicated her life to Hashem’s memory. ‘She is such a faithful, devoted woman. She’s even given up practising law,’ I was told by a mutual acquaintance who had seen her during a trip he had made to Copenhagen. I never heard from Maria.

Kirsten had succeeded in erasing her from Hashem’s posthumous existence. Hashem was all hers now. Now that he was dead, she could do with him whatever she liked. She was in full and absolute control. She was still taking her revenge over the frustrations that she had endured so willingly while he was alive. I have never been to Copenhagen since. I could not envisage either seeing her or not seeing her, if I had gone.

I find I can no longer quietly savour the ordinary anonymity of a hotel room. Hotel rooms have a taste of stale revenge and silent rage. They are inhabited by Kirsten’s voice and tense smile, and they leave no place for your advising/teaching voice, Mme Nomy.
