His hopes and aspirations on Luxembourg's behalf, but mainly on his own. Via Luxembourg. Her country's sad destiny, it seems - to always be the intermediary; between its green pastures, the Alzette and the cravings of corrupt men who take liberties. Hungrily.
Moving in his arms, not struggling against him - with no hands pressed to his chest, Mireille turns around. Away. He smells like man and they have reached that time of the month now.
