Surprisingly, I know the story of Hugo's "Notre Dame de Paris", as, I
think, many Canadians do. (I read an English translation, in high school.)
I had assumed that Esmeralda was Alice ... but I couldn't resist asking. ;-)
As for the camera ... it was in a waterproof, floating, Pelican case,
securely locked and still on the boat.
As for the fingers ... don't be sorry for my accident ... it was my
own stupidity.... nothing more. The pain of the sprains has almost
gone ... but the cracked/broken bone will take a while to heal. As
Rose would say ... "It's a long way from my heart".
Cheers!
