Emily shrugged her shoulders vaguely, afraid to offend the woman. “I don’t know.”

Mrs. Connor whispered, “Very sweet.”

“It’s still a secret! We’ll sing it after dinner. Are you willing to wait, Mrs. Connor?” Emily tilted her head.

The woman nodded again. “I will wait.”

“Thank you. We’re sure you won’t be disappointed. We’ve practiced hard.”

Suddenly, Louis leaned forward. His hand tried to reach the woman’s finger. “How are you, Madam? Have you completely recovered?”
