Sounded like a dog fight or the wind whistling through the woods away up north. “Oh, don't mind that” said the friend. “I'll have some music in a minute or two.” Then came a little tinkling sound. Ah, it was music at last. Visions of a ball- room came before the Observer's eyes and he was enjoying himself im- mensely when a tweak, tweak, bang rang in and he came back to garth with a crash.
