The accompanist was striking the
final chords. She asked him to rise
and took the vacant seat. Her fingers
wandered over the keys in a loving
prelude. and then she sang little
prayer which she bad loved as a child.

seemed to throw her whole soul into
that weird. thrilling, plaintive pray

and ended in a sob. There was a ST.
