The bookseller remembers the girl's purchasing this obscure book and, as he leafs through it, a train ticket to Lisbon falls out. It is stamped with the address of the bookstore where he happens to be a regular customer and he goes there. All he finds is a small book, a memoir of sorts, by Amadeu de Prado. He checks her pockets for identification. But instead of waiting to talk, she leaves during the middle of his class, without her coat.Ĭoncerned, Raimund grabs the coat and runs after her, but in vain. She helps him gather the papers that have spilled from his briefcase and accompanies him to the school where he teaches. Dropping his briefcase, he runs and pulls her down. Walking over a bridge on the way to his school in Bern, Raimund Gregorius, a Swiss professor of philosophy, notices a young woman in a red coat standing on the railing, about to leap.
