unimportant to study music. but born
with talent, she used to bother these
sisters by learning the songs before
they did.
Finally in despair, they paid her TO
leave their sons alone. The fee was
only q quarter, but it looked big
enough in those days to secure silence.
That bride was her first incentive to a
