Rand Hart reads his mysterious note and sings opera! Here is today’s snippet:
The note inside, written in a large hand with a double-broad nib, read:
Dear Herr Hart,
Please do me the honor of meeting with me at your earliest convenience in the dining area promenade.
Respectfully yours,
von Osler
Hart tossed the note and envelope into the wastebasket. “Wonder what the hell he wants?” he said to the mirror and then took a look at the ring on his right hand.
With a perturbed look on his face, Hart gathered his clothes and shaving kit and went to the shower. A man was just coming out. Hart nodded his head in greeting and the man did likewise. When he left, Hart entered the shower and turned the water on. The temperature was good. The pressure, abysmal. He lathered up and rinsed off, singing “Amor ti vieta” from the opera Fedora by Giordano.
To be continued!
