simone and he both lived in the hotel in separate rooms. so, he was in simone's room for all these encounters. and, she said, you have to stay here and i will help you find a place to live. and the place that they, she came up with was a very elegant, 17th century big home in virtually one kilometer from the heart of the city but really very elegant and the only problem was that the owner was a, someone who hated blacks. she came from algeria where they were dispossessed during the algerian war, were a very rich family. even though she was only go years old and she kept this hatred for anybody black. but simone and the woman owner of the hotel, convinced her to do it. so what did she do? she built a big, brick, thing, blocking her doors, her part of the house. almost, well, actually, she put an armoir there, a big wardrobe and so he couldn't, never come into her space. but slowly, slowly through the years she learned to love him and wanted him to have the house. and all her forlorn years of, with loneliness and so forth, she passed on to him.
