[from proposed Annotated Contents, Masquerading at Shower-Lourdes ]
Chapter the First, in which, in an amazing feat of detective work while
researching international Mafia
operations in
her native Morocco, the Heroine is able to track down Rosellini's 1737 mechanical pig to a Sicilian family
compound near
West Palm Beach, Florida, where, through subterfuge (she plays the spurned girlfriend of a Yakusa kingpin) and
serendipity — two guards assigned to the room, which contains various treasures, (a) do not fully realize
the
pig's
value, and (b) were not aware of its ambulatory capabilities — the pig comes into her delicate, veiny
hands,
and she
pulls into a trailer park along the inland waterway to ponder thoughtfully her next move.
