music at sight. Seeing a sheet OF
music on the piano rack, she sat down
and began playing, pounding the keys
with little regard for correctness Of

of the household watching her earnest
ly, the wouldbe admired player
pressed harder on the loud pedal, lift
ed her hands higher, and ended with
a flourish.
whrling around on the stool, she be-
slowed a patronizing smile upon the
child, who looked up and naively re-
marked: II can't play that, either.
