Persse rents the room Angelica has recently checked out of, so it has not yet been cleaned. He finds the room smelling of the hyacinths she carried to play her part in the street theatre, a still-damp towel on the floor. He sleeps between sheets that had cradled Angelica and rests his head on a pillow smelling of her perfume. He kisses a tissue bearing her blotted lipstick and drinks from a glass still half-full of water.
