Quote context

[...]

- Oh, how terrible.

- It's something I don't like to think about very often.

- Poor beautiful Margaret. Well, it's like a nightmare, and I still can't feel reconciled, but...

The idiotic tunes people play nowadays. Give me the old stern classics. They have strength and power! Give me something with life to it, something that will flood the whole house with sound!

And by some malicious stroke of fate, there was an epidemic of scarlet fever raging out there. The authorities wouldn't lift the quarantine and let them out for her funeral.

What's that? -Sounds like the organ. -But the motor isn't on. The console was locked when I left.
