The Soldier
- The soldier who finds the girl's diary is named James Dorsey, and when he reads her words, he totally falls in love with the writer.
- He decides that he's going to seek her out in Jaipur. And as luck would have it, on his second day in the city he gets invited to a party at the Political Agent's house.
- He's mingling about when he hears someone talk about the girl at the piano—and how she's the one that was cursed by the old woman.
- The people are talking about how she's never said a word, but that the girl is supposed to kill everyone around her when she finally speaks or sings.
- James ignores them all and approaches the piano, where he finds the most beautiful girl that he's ever seen in his life.
- And when she looks up and meets his gaze, she feels the exact same thing. These two are drawn to each other like magnets.
