Confused by Madeleine's story

The letters he sent were during the first part of their relationship.

He was in the army then and thinking of her all the time. In those letters he was longing to get out of the army to be with her and see her in her blue dress and share an orange-colored day.

Eventually he did get out and they were together - but at some point he became unfaithful and left her for another woman.

He stole her money and flew to Panama with the other woman but Madeline Wells was not over her love for him. Not by any measure. He was the love of her life.

He no longer wrote to her or called but deep down Madeline still had hope he would return and her days would turn orange once again. And then one day...

Madeline got the news that the unfaithful lover had died in a plane crash and Black Lion's heart stopped on the spot as time simply froze.

And that is the moment she was still existing within years later when Amelie gently tapped on her door.

Look where no one else is looking and see what no one else sees.

By the way, did you notice how the letters, the portrait on the wall of her lost love, Black Lion, and other objects were all arranged in such a way as to create a shrine for her orange-colored guy?

It was a place where his memory was still very alive in spite of every other thing in this world telling her he was long, long gone.

Not very far away Amelie's father had another shrine going which of course is the very shrine the gnome had escaped from to travel the world and to one day even star in TV commercials for Expedia.

Since we're on shrines here, what did you think of the Glassman's closet with the 19 completed paintings of 14 people that would always be remembered?

Getting back to Madeline Wells, since the painting comes up go ahead and take a closer look inside the Glassman's painting itself while thinking, "Orange-colored Day, orange-colored day, orange-colored day, orange-colored day,...", and see if anything stands out to make you go rigid in your chair.

In fact, maybe this will help -

http://www.phillipscollection.org/collection/boating-party/ It's called The Luncheon of the Boating Party, by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The painting was started in 1880 and finished in 1881.

Renoir was an "Impressionist", even the "father" of Impressionism. So why so long for this single work? This painting gave him problems and underwent revisions and changes as it came into our world under the guidance of his brush.

Fourteen immortals on the wall if you count only what you can see. They were friends of Renoir and history recognizes 13 of them by name.

The link above takes you to The Phillip's Collection in Washington, DC, where the actual painting hangs in a little room.
