When he was still in his right mind—that’s the point I was making. Were they his idea?
MATILDA No, not at all. Lots of us who took part decided to have our portraits done as a souvenir of the pageant.
BELCREDI I had mine done—Charles of Anjou.
DOCTOR You don’t know if it was he who asked for it?
MATILDA I’ve no idea. It’s possible. Or it might have been Carlo’s mother’s idea of humouring him.
DOCTOR Now, another thing. Was this pageant his idea?
BELCREDI No, it was mine.
MATILDA Don’t take any notice of him. It was poor Belassi’s idea.
BELCREDI Belassi?
MATILDA (to the Doctor) Count Belassi, poor man, who died two or three months later.
BELCREDI But Belassi wasn’t even there when I . . .
DI NOLLI Excuse me, Doctor, does it really matter whose idea . . .
DOCTOR It could be important.
