Do not remember where she read that seven is a lucky number. For who, she wondered. Julia Balcarce does not get along with the number seven. Such a quantity has been the leading roles that different colleagues would still from her. Seven grievances accumulated feeding his self-pity excuses for a failed actress. 
 She finishes mending the rag doll who built throughout the week, not her image, but as a crude emulation of the seven thieves in question. In each one chose a trait that she traded to her cloth stuffed creature. And yet, the doll looks increasingly like Julia.
With the pretext of a feigned predictable invitation to hunt to Baradero, she asked a friend of his dead father to lend her his gun. The old man, touched by the love of women inherited, handed her the gun while retelling stories heard a hundred times on hunting expeditions that friends were doing, once.
