'Le Valet de Couronnes’ by @jack-of-crowns

"Où va-t-il, á votre avis, ce petit bonhomme?"she pondered, but all I noticed was how beautiful Véronique looked in that spectral light with the eclipse coming on, Marcel waves of brunette rustling in the warm Marghazi breeze coming up from the Bay of Bengal. She laughed to see that look in my eyes. "Really, Jack, that mouse I meant."

Sure enough, there was the yellowish flick of a chooha's tail, disappearing just around the white stucco facade of the café on Rue de la Compagnie, where we had perched to enjoy the Pongal festival unfolding on the streets of Pondicherry before us. The strange thing was, I hadn't noticed an alleyway there a moment ago. "Where the devil do you suppose he's off to," I softly answered her.

Setting my napkin to the side of the paneer ratatouille I'd been enjoying and donning my trusty fedora, I stood up to take a quick look. "Un instant, ma chérie." It must have been a trick of the light that I hadn't noticed the narrow lane of cobbles beforehand, but there was the little mouse scurrying on just ahead. It paused at the side of the building adjacent to the café, underneath a casement window shaded by a jali screen that fragmented the kerosene lamplight shining behind it.

The building was some sort of art gallery; hanging in the window was an exquisite work in the Cubist style, entitled 'Le Valet de Couronnes’. The subject was a portrait in bluish-grey tones, wearing an ornate headpiece, and eyes closed meditatively. The background was an intricate jumble of complex geometries and abstract mechanisms. There was a striking familarity to this man, I thought to myself as the eclipses' penumbra deepened overhead.

Distant temple bells began to toll the evening aarti to Ganesha; the clock tower in the French Quarter sounded the hour. The eyes of the painting flickered, dancing in the moonshadow. It was 1925, and a new year was beginning. The uttarayan was beginning, and the northern portal was opened...

It is 2025, and Veronica catches the eye of the gallery's clerk, who is just about to close shop for the night. "How much for this painting," she inquires.

"Ten thousand rupees," he replies. "A classic from the colonial era, amma. I believe that was a self-portrait of a British artist who used to live next door to here. Really takes one on a journey to another place and time, doesn't it?"

She nods and smiles, handing over the banknotes as he parcels up her belated Christmas present to herself. "Comment ça commence," she murmurs; that's how all the best stories begin.
