They ate their dinner in olympic splendor, atop a dune. Heyl produced unexpected things from the rucksack things that ranged all the way from milk chocolate to literature, and from grape juice to cigarettes. They ate ravenously, but at Heyl's thrifty suggestion they saved a few sandwiches for the late afternoon.
"I am learning to sing a part in 'Pinafore. I am engaged at the Olympic." "Denasia!"

It was guided by your own noble son and expressly sent by the Ephori in your honor to bring the father of two Olympic victors back to his native land." The old man's limbs trembled visibly at these words, his eyes filled with tears and he murmured a prayer.
