Through it all, the Maestro talks, sings, whistles and blows out his cheeks for the benefit of trumpeters and trombonists. After a concert, keyed to feverish excitement, he often plays over piano scores of every number that appeared on the program.
And Joan herself, with wide staring eyes, alert, full of the new forces of the place, evidently keyed up by the magic of finding herself among all the things her soul recognised as "home," sat rigid by the fire, her thoughts roaming through the spaces, the blood stirring about her heart.
