A wounded lion tamer recalls a brutal act and a shattered romance. He describes burning passion, a dramatic lion act, and a tense night that ends with Ruth Hepburn seeking forgiveness after a disruptive encounter in a town. She confronts him in a doorway and pleads for mercy and forgiveness as they face an uncertain future.
