Oh, no, Joe! Please, please don't do that. I should be frightened, really. It is a matter of religion with her. Yes, some. I sneak into the church when no one is there and play on that piano. When you were away six months ago, this was opened to be tuned for those young cousins of hers who visited. They were lively young girls, and the first thing they did every morning was to go to the piano. They would have asked questions if it had been locked, and Aunt Harriet hates inquisitiveness like poison. I don't know where it is now. She has probably thrown it away. It would be just like her to do it.
