In her mind she could remember about six different tunes from the pieces of his [Mozart's] she had heard. A few of them were kind of quick and tinkling, and another was like that smell in springtime after a rain. But they all made her somehow sad and excited at the same time.She hummed one of the tunes, and after a while in the hot, empty house by herself she felt the tears come in her eyes.
