Overview

Columbine awakes to find a thought in her head. This leads the pretty flirt, who has been pursuing Harlequin for five hundred years, into the arms of a stodgy professor, who whisks her away for a "mortarboard" marriage. Harlequin, always so concerned with himself, discovers he has a broken heart. With the aid of Pierrot, Harlequin recaptures for an instant what he loves; but has he truly learned that, when we change what we most desire, we destroy it? Only Columbine knows and she will never tell.
