What
’
s
happening
?
’
Case
asked
Armitage
,
who
said
nothing
.
Molly
picked
her
teeth
with
a
burgundy
nail
.
'
Good
evening
,
’
Riviera
said
,
stepping
forward
on
a
small
stage
at
the
far
end
of
the
room
.
Case
blinked
.
In
his
discomfort
,
he
hadn
’
t
noticed
the
stage
.
He
hadn
’
t
seen
where
Riviera
had
come
from
.
His
uneasiness
increased
.
At
first
he
assumed
the
man
was
illuminated
by
a
spotlight
.
Riviera
glowed
.
The
light
clung
around
him
like
a
skin
,
lit
the
dark
hangings
behind
the
stage
.
He
was
projecting
.
Riviera
smiled
.
He
wore
a
white
dinner
jacket
.
On
his
lapel
,
blue
coals
burned
in
the
depths
of
a
black
carnation
.
His
fingernails
flashed
as
he
raised
his
hands
in
a
gesture
of
greeting
,
an
embrace
for
his
audience
.
Case
heard
the
shallow
water
lap
against
the
side
of
the
restaurant
.
'
Tonight
,
’
Riviera
said
,
his
long
eyes
shining
,
'
I
would
like
to
perform
an
extended
piece
for
you
.
A
new
work
.
’
A
cool
ruby
of
light
formed
in
the
palm
of
his
upraised
right
hand
.
He
dropped
it
.
A
gray
dove
fluttered
up
from
the
point
of
impact
and
vanished
into
the
shadows
.
Someone
whistled
.
More
applause
.
'
The
title
of
the
work
is
'
The
Doll
.
’
’
Riviera
lowered
his
hands
.
'
I
wish
to
dedicate
its
premiere
here
,
tonight
,
to
Lady
3Jane
Marie
-
France
Tessier
-
Ashpool
.
’
A
wave
of
polite
applause
.
As
it
died
,
Riviera
’
s
eyes
seemed
to
find
their
table
.
'
And
to
another
lady
.
’
The
restaurant
’
s
lights
died
entirely
,
for
a
few
seconds
,
leaving
only
the
glow
of
candles
.
Riviera
’
s
holographic
aura
had
faded
with
the
lights
,
but
Case
could
still
see
him
,
standing
with
his
head
bowed
.
Lines
of
faint
light
began
to
form
,
verticals
and
horizontals
,
sketching
an
open
cube
around
the
stage
.
The
restaurant
’
s
lights
had
come
back
up
slightly
,
but
the
framework
surrounding
the
stage
might
have
been
constructed
of
frozen
moonbeams
.
Head
bowed
,
eyes
closed
,
arms
rigid
at
his
sides
,
Riviera
seemed
to
quiver
with
concentration
.
Suddenly
the
ghostly
cube
was
filled
,
had
become
a
room
,
a
room
lacking
its
fourth
wall
,
allowing
the
audience
to
view
its
contents
.
