Capitola Three
Matthew found Christopher in the chapel.
"Why on earth have you been crying?
You know you were perfect
I only beg you,
What's your secret
Who has taught you dancing?"
"Mother once spoke of a tutor
I used to pray she'd appear
Now when I dance I can feel her
And I know she's there
Here in this chapel
She calls me loudly
Somehow inside, hidden
Somehow I know that she is with me
She, the unseen dancer"
"I watched you dance from the shadows
Ignoring all the applause
I see you dance in the spotlight
But the dance is not yours"
"Matthew," Christopher said. "Who else could be teaching me? Who? I know it's my mother."
Christopher went to his dressing room. Rowina was waiting for him.
"Rowina!"
She grinned at him. "Small Simon. I never thought I'd see you here. But I'm glad you are. Come, Christopher. We can catch up during dinner."
"No," Christopher said. "My tutor is very strict."
"I'll get you back before late," Rowina laughed. "I'll pick you up in ten minutes."
"Rowina, wait!" Christoper yelled.
He sighed as Rowina left the room. Suddenly, all the candles blew out though there was no breeze.
A booming voice filled the room.
