Sofia: My grandfather drew this. I’ve found the arch. I can’t find his little horse.

Tony leans forward on Ronald’s right shoulder. A musical DING comes from beyond the bench.
Tony: Perhaps we should ask the one with the bell.

A bicycle courier walks his bike across the square. A small brown horse protrudes from a partly open padded delivery box in its front carrier. A man in a plum jacket watches from a café table.
