  During a brief visit, he deftly led the conversation to music, talking about the singers, chords and treasures he had seen and heard. Beth, who had been in a far corner, was so fascinated that she gradually came forward and stood behind his chair to listen quietly, her eyes wide and her cheeks red with shame at her unusual behaviour. Mr. Laurence went on talking of Laurie's lessons and teachers without seeing her, and presently he seemed to remember something, and said to Mrs. March --" I'm glad the boy isn't very nice now, for he used to like it a little too much. But it's a pity that the piano is idle. Would your girls like to come and play it now and then, so that it won't be abandoned? What do you say, ma 'am?" Beth stepped forward and held her hands tightly before she clapped them. The temptation was irresistible and she was pleasantly surprised at the thought of playing on that beautiful piano. Before Mrs. March could reply, Mr. Laurence nodded his head oddly, and smiled. For I was always in the study at the other end of the room, and Laurie was often out, and the servant never came near the parlour after nine o 'clock. At this he rose as if to take leave. Beth made up her mind to speak a few words, for the final arrangement was quite as she wished it to be. If they don't want to come, hey, forget it."
