Sliding stones
I googled Saltimbanque A street performer, a travelling entertainer, a tumbler, maybe a trickster, an illusionist or conjurer.. images remind us of harlequin, punchinello... the joker in the pack, the fool, the 23rd trump... Google gave me Picasso, Baudelaire and a few other artists... But the biggest surprise was at 26, Rue des Grottes (Street of the Caves) Geneve. Gene Ve Gene 5e Translating from french... Gene 5th. Coincidence? Let's find La Rue D'asticot. La Rue Delices? anyone... they taste better than they look. Then I found the Saltimbanque magic theatre was established in 1997... but by then I was lost.

I don't think so. Nice catch, Jim. I checked the archives and this has never been posted before. Has anyone been to Switzerland recently? If Cave Canem can be assumed to be located at the site of the Saltimbanque theater in Geneva, then a large historic library might be expected due west of it. Can anyone identify a large monumental library there? The mountains are north and east of Geneva, right? Checking out a map, the historic city center seems to be east of Rue des Grottes. It seems to fit. Regarding whether Mr. Million killed Maitre....I'm surprised at you Jim! Having identified Cave Canem with the Saltimbanque PUPPET THEATRE, how could you imagine that Mr. Million would need or want to actually kill him directly? ~ Crush

Correction: That library should be due EAST of the Saltimbanque theater.
