Doctor Bagi's father's house was set amidst exotic greenery - palm trees were outlined against the darkening sky - sinuous creepers hung from the branches of nutmeg trees - the sultry twilight enveloped us -
The garden contained subtle herbs, used in the preparation of herbal medicines - dark petals half covered the basin of a fountain - the air was scented by fragrant leaves - I thought I was walking in a dream -
I turned round, to see Doctor Bagi showing Anne a mysterious flower -
He was like Prospero, I thought, showing us his beautiful conjured world -
He was like Prospero, I thought, showing us his beautiful conjured world -
