Peter Augustus Duchene has many questions, but there is one he wishes most answered: “Is his sister still alive? And if so, how he can find her?” The answer he finds from the fortuneteller in the market square of the city of Baltese is one he has to learn to believe. “An elephant! An elephant will lead him there!”
