Deception

Christine Radcliffe runs in the rain up the stairs of a large symphony hall in which a concert is already underway with a performance of Haydn's cello concerto in D. Her eyes fill with tears as she recognizes the cellist on stage: Karel Novak who spent the war trapped in neutral Sweden. After his performance, Novak is mobbed by well-wishers. He then returns to his dressing room and as the concert is heard resuming after intermission with Schubert's unfinished symphony. Christine enters and their eyes meet in his mirror. The couple embrace while Christine cries, "I thought you were dead. I saw them kill you."
