My bow slipped again at bar twenty-three of the twelfth dance. Say the page is wrong and not my hand, and nobody believes you.

• Rodion VershininI looked at the score. That one bar has been scraped away with a blade.
  Kapellmeister Gennady LokhvinI've been saying that for three days now.

  Kapellmeister Gennady LokhvinYes, my lady. Even so, the bow stays in my hand.
