    7th March 1896, backstage at the Savoy Theatre, London. Dressed as Teh Baroness von Krakenfeldt from The Grand Duke, Rosina Brandram does some vocal exercises in that dramatic way she has.

    ♫ He isn't at home to-day, nooooooo, he isn't at home to-day. ♫

    A portal from the past and/or future suddenly opens in the middle of the green room. Uninterrupted by this vaguely extraordinary occurrence, Rosina continues until noticing you, a strange stranger from a strange time, from the other end of the portal wherever you are. She shrugs majestically, as if such an event were commonplace.

    Oh, yes. Just put the flowers over there!
