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.

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

was, the north wind grew weary and went on its way. When summer came to the

little village, a new breeze from the south blew soft and warm.

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

ANOUK: Roux!!

STORYTELLER: My Mother knew Roux’s return had nothing to do with the silly

old door. So did I.

ROUX: Thought you’d never guess. My favorite, hot chocolate.

VIANNE: I knew that.

STORYTELLER: As for Pantoufle, well his bad leg miraculously healed, and he

hopped off in search of new adventures. I didn’t miss him.
