Part 1

Dawning - John Moore , 2024.

American, b. 1941 -

Siegfried went on with his little plan, not entirely sure about how she would take it, but trusting his instincts. He started by browsing his record collection, selecting his favourites and listening carefully, taking notes on what would be the most suitable choice. Maybe Eddy Duchin? And his Central Park Casino Orchestra? An old favourite, even though they were American. He was so engrossed in his task that he lost track of time and was interrupted by Helen, storming into the sitting room, dressed in her robe, looking quite angry.

”Siegfried, have you any idea what time it is? The rest of the house is trying to sleep, but it’s impossible in this noise!”
