But Westminster Wakeman, also travelling to Nantes, chooses Paul's room to hide in, which causes them to form a sort of friendship.

Trivia

 * It's the first chapter to fall outside of Classic Wakeman.
 * The whole chapter was based on the song Nantes by Barbara. Or rather the Dutch translation sung by Lia Dorana.
 * In the letter Lonne recieves, it says that there's a rendez-vous at 25 Rue de la Grange-au-loupe. But because the adress was changed in the Dutch translation of the song, the house she travels to is 8 Reu de Nantes.
 * The role of the man the protagonist of the song travels to, is played by a dying Washington Wakeman in this chapter.
 * The roles of the four men mentioned in the song are played by Cornelius Wolf, Hayman Talon, Arsenio Minerva (all members of the Washington Four), and C.A. Dupin IV (the detective chasing them).
