AvayiNARRATOR

Scott CrawfordGUEST
So Maria is waiting for Jan.
John RossHOST
Jan's planned voyage has been disrupted by the war, but in a letter we get, Still, our story has touched my nephew-in-law, the painter Fabritius, and in order to encourage me and to comfort you, he has painted my portrait with Delft as the background.

John RossHOST
And this doomed painter, he really did paint a picture, which is called View of Delft, and it includes a man beside a musical instrument.
