Michael Kaluta's Notes for Page 17
Pnl 1: Richard queries Simon, Simon's body language says "it's out of my hands", 
meaning it's time for Simon to exit the gardens.
Pnl 2: 3/4 down shot as Simon makes his Farewell To Maud bow... 
Richard moves toward Simon. 
(Somewhere in these and earlier garden pages we should show the Gardener 
we'll see at the postern gate, just for story continuity... 
he can appear in the background in two or more panels 
and not be really noticed until he becomes a player...)
Pnl 3: Large: either a half-page bleed or just a large panel with pnls 1 and 2 inset. 
Simon on one knee gives Richard an It's All Right hug
Pnl 4: Small Panel with Simon's last words... 
neither Richard nor Maud is in this little panel
 Simon a silhouette WAY in the background, 
Richard in mid panel with his ball, Maud up close to us: 
she can be in shadow or as I've suggested, full sunlight.		 .
