- Emily's maybe the only person ever who has to be dragged to Venice. As the carriage heads off, a disguised Valancourt presses a letter into her hand. Game on.
- Here are the juicy tidbits of Valancourt's letter: every time the sun sets, he'll look at it and think of her. Aww, it's just waiting to be turned into a Disney movie.
- Some more reflections about land and travel are headed our way. Em writes a pretty profound sonnet about a weary traveler climbing the Alps.
- She also writes a little poem about a local musician heading to Venice. She's a regular Shakespeare, that Emily.
