that George first saw Chitsa. Now Georges had been raised a good Catholic, but
in his romance with Chitsa, he was willing to slightly bend the rules of Christian
courtship. The tribal leaders tried to warn Georges about her. She was one of
the wanderers. Her people moved with the North wind, from village to village,
dispensing ancient remedies, never settling down. Not a good choice for a bride.
Georges did not heed their warning; and for awhile it seemed for a while that he
and Chitsa might lead a happy life together in France. Alas, the clever north
wind had other plans. One morning, Georges awoke to discover that Chitsa, and
the little girl, Vianne, had gone away.
Mother and daughter were fated to wander from village to village, dispensing
ancient cacao remedies. Traveling with the wind, just as Chitsa’s people had
done for generations.
ANOUK: Do they just go on forever?

STORYTELLER: It was certainly not the most fiery sermon Pere Henri would
ever preach, nor the most eloquent. But the parishioners felt a new sensation
that day. A lightening of the spirit. A freedom from the old tanquilite. Even the
Conte de Reynaud felt strangely released. Although it’d take another 6 months
before he’d work up the nerve to ask Caroline to dinner.
STORYTELLER: As for Josephine, she took over the lease from the old café
and gave it a new name. But still, the clever north wind was not satisfied. The
wind spoke to Vianne of towns yet to be visited, friends in need yet to be
discovered. Battles, yet to be fought. By someone else, next time. And so it

ROUX: Just needed an adjustment, I hope it’ll be better now.

STORYTELLER: As for Pantoufle, well his bad leg miraculously healed, and he
hopped off in search of new adventures. I didn’t miss him.
