START: Elizabeth and Donald are now too happy to be able to hear me. I can therefore let you in on a secret. Elizabeth is not Elizabeth, Donald is not Donald. And here is the proof: the child that Donald spoke of is not Elizabeth’s daughter, they are not the same person.

END: Who has any interest in prolonging this confusion? I don’t know. Let’s try not to know. Let’s leave things as they are. (She takes several steps towards the door, then returns and says to the audience:) My real name is Sherlock Holmes.
