*The 1700s London square bustles with merchants and crowds. A flashy cart with bright curtains dominates the scene, its sign proclaiming:* **Adolfo Pirelli: Haircutter, Barber, Royal Toothpuller!** *A thin boy sings from atop the cart, selling pale yellow bottles for a penny. The crowd gathers, murmuring. A man with thick black hair and a garish coat grins, waving and blowing kisses like a celebrity.*
