Some Schubert songs, yes?" So Mamma went in, and she and Mr. von Greusen both made beautiful music, separately and together, which the audience in the balcony enjoyed without troubling to understand, Prue being the only one among them who loved music with her head as well as with her heart. A sound of footsteps on the path below attracted the children's attention.

"He asks many questions," said Mr. von Greusen, "but I do not think that his heart is in the vineyard, as the heart of a man must be if he wishes to make his wine world-famous.

He was pleased with me for discovering that grape. The man's name is John Smith. I think he is French." Mollie laughed. "What are you laughing at?" asked Hugh, looking all ready to be offended.
