A deliberately old-world mix of courtly classical dances, off-kilter instrumentals, and darkly whimsical songs evokes Bury’s village life, the uncanny castle, and Lucien’s uncertain passage from isolation toward love. The sequence moves between comic bustle, gothic unease, and more intimate moments, reflecting the novel’s fable-like shape without smoothing away its ink-black humor.
