What Pierpont really wants is for Fay to join him. What Fay wants is another matter entirely.

The Nomad: Madame Lemaire had been a lively, coquettish girl in her youth. She had been Marie Bretelle of Marseille! Then she met a handsome acrobat. After his accident, they bought a small inn on the edge of the Sahara -- where her husband now drinks absinthe, and nothing ever happens. Sometimes Marie thinks she will go mad. Yes, if the Devil himself came along the road and asked her to go, she'd go... she certainly would.

The Charmer of Snakes: Renfrew idolizes Claire, the world famous stage actress.

When the snake charmer comes to town, she finally finds the stage she was born to.
