Then I should like to have the awakening of Brunnhilde." "That would be lovely," said Georgie. "Have you asked Miss Olga if she will?" "Georgino mio, you don't quite understand," said Lucia. "This party is to be for Miss Bracely. I was her guest last night in spite of the gramophone, and indeed I hope she will find nothing in my house that jars on her as much as her gramophone jarred on me.
"I shall want a lot of Georgino's tempo this week," she said, "for Peppino and I have quite settled we must give a little after dinner party next Saturday, and I want you to help me to arrange some impromptu tableaux. Everything impromptu must just be sketched out first, and I daresay Miss Bracely worked a great deal at her dance last night and I wish I had seen more of it.
"I suppose I am too old-fashioned, though I will not condemn your little pieces of Debussy before I have heard them. Old-fashioned! Yes! I was certainly too old-fashioned for the music she gave us last night. Dio mi!" "Oh, didn't you enjoy it?" asked he. Lucia sat down, without waiting for Peppino. "Poor Miss Bracely!" she said.
"I came into Riseholme today to get rooms at the Arms for Olga Bracely," she observed. "The prima-donna?" asked Georgie breathless with excitement. "Yes; she is coming to stay at the Arms for two nights with Mr Shuttleworth." "Surely " began Georgie. "No, it is all right, he is her husband, they were married last week," said Lady Ambermere.
"Peppino and I have been so busy lately that we have seen nobody. We are quite country-cousins, and so the town-mouse must spare us a little cheese. How is dear Miss Bracely now?" "Very well," said Georgie. "I saw her this morning." Lucia gave a sigh of relief. "That is good," she said. "Peppino, do you hear? Miss Bracely is quite well. Not overtired with practising that new opera?

"Peppino, are you looking after Lady Ambermere?" she said. "Dear Lady Ambermere, I hope they are all taking care of you." "A very decent peach," said Lady Ambermere. "The south wall of my garden is covered with them, and they are always of a peculiarly delicious flavour. The Hall is famed for its peaches. I understood that Miss Bracely was going to be here, Mrs Lucas.
Don't those inverted fifths make you wince, Miss Bracely?" Olga laughed again, and spoke in her own voice. "Oh, Georgie, she is an ass," she said. "What she meant I suppose was consecutive fifths; you can't invert a fifth. What happened next? That's all I know." "Directly afterwards," said Georgie, "she brought the music to me, and asked me to show her where the passage of tenths came.
Then he would sit and think ... the Guru, Olga Bracely ... What if he asked Olga Bracely and her husband to dine, and persuaded Mrs Quantock to let the Guru come? That would be three men and one woman, and Hermy and Ursy would make all square. Six for dinner was the utmost that Foljambe permitted. He had come to the stile that led into the fields, and sat there for a moment.
And if it wasn't the next day, it was the day after that, that they began mending the roof, and since then, there have been plumbers and painters and upholsterers and furniture vans at the door day and night." "Haw, hum," said the Colonel, "then do you mean that it's Miss Bracely who has taken it?" Mrs Weston nodded her head up and down.
