| MY VERSION OF �IN A PLACE OF MIRACLES� By Sonja The whole community of the Court of Miracles had grouped itself near the entrance. Esmeralda, Ad�le and Madellaine dazzled of joy and relief. The last two years had been painful. Madellaine admitted to herself she was still sad because of Quasimodo�s choice, especially since she had been so near losing little Donato. But today, it was time for rejoicing and forgetting the past. Phoebus, Quasimodo and Mertzi were standing in the middle of the Court, and all of them smiled happily when they saw the women approaching. Clopin came to them and declared: �Tonight, my friends, we have a special occasion here! Make ready to welcome Madellaine as a new member of my family and to renew the love of Quasimodo and Ad�le!� The whole community cheered. Phoebus gave his hand to Esmeralda, led her among the group of Gypsies and exclaimed: �I�m sure you all remember the cheerful event we had here when Esmeralda introduced me to you, my friends. Now, I suggest that we show our respect to love and friendship the same manner as we did on that day!� ESMERALDA, AD�LE & MADELLAINE: What�s happening to me? My heart is pounding so fast. PHOEBUS, QUASIMODO & MERTZI: What sort of place is this Where we�re together at last? QUASIMODO, AD�LE & MADELLAINE: Where our misgivings are past And we�re together at last! MADELLAINE: Here we are Nearly strangers From two worlds that have rarely met But tonight You�re rejoicing In my heart MERTZI: Look how much We have learned here And our life�s still strange to you But I�m feeling I just might let you Win my heart.

I must be� In a place of miracles AD�LE & ESMERALDA: Where the blind can see THE THREE COUPLES: In a place of miracles QUASIMODO, PHOEBUS & MERTZI: Love can work, it�s alchemy. THE THREE COUPLES: The citizens and Gypsies Dance in an embrace In a place of miracles! PHOEBUS: Like this place Safe and secret I have hidden my heart away. Till tonight It was known to Only me. ESMERALDA & MADELLAINE: See my face Always laughing That�s just part of the part I play That�s just part of this masquerading MADELLAINE: Lonely me QUASIMODO & MADELLAINE: But now I can drop all disguise When I see myself in your eyes I know I�m� In a place of miracles Where my heart is free To believe in miracles AD�LE & QUASIMODO: Like you here in love with me PHOEBUS: And all my rusty armour Gone without a trace In a place of miracles ESMERALDA, AD�LE & MADELLAINE: In a place of miracles THE THREE COUPLES: In a place of miracles! The vagabonds toasted to all of the three couples, and Quasimodo said quietly to Madellaine: �Without you, I never would have got either Christine or Ad�le back or had Fidelia.� Madellaine smiled melancholically, and Quasi remembered how Phoebus had thanked him of finding his true love. But then, she put her arms round the bellringer and said: �Thank you for giving me my Donato. I�ll always have a part of you!� THE VAGABONDS: Here we are together In a state of grace In a place of miracles� Back to Random Creative Works Back to Index |
