This story is inspired by the portrait of Caroline Rémy de Guebhard. Caroline was a French Journalist with anarchist, socialist, communist and feminist views, best known under the pen name Séverine. It was painted by Amélie Beaury-Saurel in 1893 and it's a fictitious story of how the two women had interacted while the artist was painting the portrait.
A Linkage Story The Waiter's Tale sheds light on the life of the Chevalier and introduces characters pivotal to the story arc(!). The story contains a lot of travel and fornication, although much of the latter is noises off so to speak. There are also gobbets of history, music, and film talk. Threading through the tale is what could be considered a coming of age story. Judge for yourselves, although the first two stories in the Linkage series (both very short) will need to be read to make sense of this story.
