It is a quiet summer night. Beside the road, on a green patch, a travelling van is drawn up under the shelter of the trees, and a log fire burns, filling the air with the stimulating aroma of the pine. Marie sits on the lowest step of the van with hands clasped behind her back. Her lips are parted in smiling wonder as she gazes at Carl, who, clad in a velvet jacket, is playing the violin.
