Hello, Diane,
I'm so glad to know that you'll visit London.
I was over there about 15 years ago.
I wish I could go there with you again.
Some day... some day... ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ...
I've been reading many books regarding "Madame Butterfly" since I received your last mail about "A Dangerous Method."
I was too busy reading those books to write my articles in English.
How come Sabina went through kinky sex life?
I read a book titled "Butterfly" written by Paul Loewen.

According to the author, Paul Loewen lived in Heidelberg during the World War II.
One day, while listening to a record of the opera "Madama Butterfly," his mother became upset unusually.
When she calmed down eventually, she revealed the secrets of her upbringing.
A Japanese women who became a model of Madama Butterfly had, in fact, a daughter, not a son.
The girl would later married a German doctor who had been a consultant at a hospital in Tokyo.
Four years later she gave birth to a baby boy.
That woman is his mother and the boy is the author---Paul Loewen.

That's what the preface says.
When Loewen learned that the daughter of the so-called Madame Butterfly was his mother, he had a strong interest in the true story of his grandparents.
After the World War II, he had the opportunity to visit Japan in the United-Nations-related work.
In Nagasaki, he discovered the memoirs and letters of the late Pinkerton.
Because the contents of the notes and letters were decadent and sexual, they were not published at the time.
However, in the wake of the death of his mother in 1976, he decided to publish by editing the materials discovered in Nagasaki as well as the diary of Sharpless obtained in the United States in order to reveal the true story of his grandparents.
In the past years, many researchers have tried to find the model of Madame Butterfly of the opera.
Did the model ever exist?
If so, who was she?
This mystery has not been clearly elucidated until now.
Although the discovered materials are certainly suspicious and indeed lacking in credibility, Loewen's literary Work-up seems quite effective in the sense that the reader really looks forward to the mystery and wants to solve it.
The story begins when Kate (Kathryn Hamilton) and Henry Pinkerton were still young lovers.
Kate is a woman who combines the elegance of demeanor equipped with extraordinary intelligence and breathtaking beauty as well as delicate sensibility.
I've found several common traits between Kate and Sabina.
That's why I've been reading the related books in order to get insights into Kate's as well as Sabina's mind.
Well...so much so that I'll write an article about it, and hope you'll enjoy reading it.
I'll send another mail to you while you're enjoying your journey in London so that you will be able to read as a bit of refresher.
In any case, please have a great time in London, learn as much as possible, and experience a great deal of adventure and romance. :)
I'm looking foward to hearing fascinating and inspirational stories from you.
Your truly travel-loving Taliesin,
Kato
:) with love

Hi Kato,
Wow! That was a quick response .. thanks so much.
I'll send you a postcard and we'll see how long it takes to get from London to Vancouver.
I always think it's such fun to receive a hard copy of something these days; so quaint, n'est-ce pas?
I'm really getting excited about the prospect of experiencing some new things to shake me out of my routines.
Not an easy task, as I'm sure you know.
So I'm sure this trip will be good for me.
Besides, I'll get to see how compatible my boyfriend and I are travel-wise.
We've already discussed some of our differences.
He is a news junky and likes to glue himself to the television, for instance, and I'm a fan of quiet home spaces.
He's agreed to watch TV in the bar downstairs or with headphones, so I'm relieved about that.

Otherwise, it should be fine, hopefully.
Time will tell, as they say.
I think you might be on to something with respect to the commonalities between Kate and Sabina.
It would be interesting to know if they were both abused as children.
This would, of course, explain a lot at least at a superficial level.
Good luck with your sleuthing.
See you when I return from visiting the Queen.
Hug for my truly loving Taliesin.
Ta, ta as they say in England,
Love, Diane ~
Diane, I think you've got a keen sixth sense.
Oh... what makes you think so?
You just mentioned:

As a matter of fact, Kate was abused when she was an adolescent.
I thought so.
How did you know?
Well ... maybe, sixth sense as you just mentioned.
I see... Anyway, Kate's story goes like this:
