As a music teacher, this is pretty good!

A very different but interesting story. And I absolutely love the background pictures, I felt like I was in a gallery enjoy watching the 19 century art works. Thank you for paying attention to that detail.

I want to congratulate the artist doing the background. I know it’s a small thing but the vestments that vicar is wearing is absolutely appropriate. Bravo.

🎼🎼🎼 From Logan, Utah, USA at 6:00pm. This was an unusual piece of work. It touches my heart 💜 as though an arrow pierced it. I am a musician. I trained to sing opera but then met my future husband and got married 6 weeks later. We had eight children. That effectively ended my opera “career.” You can’t have a large family and have a singing career at the same time. And I chose to have the large family. <br><br>So, amid changing diapers and chasing little children around the house, I taught them all 🎹 piano and theory. They all learned other instruments as well. I also began writing music, like Cordelia did. I have written a few nice pieces about which I am proud. And others which are just exercises in composition. But it’s been a lot of fun and a great headache at the same time. I hear melodies and harmonies in my and then have to find them on the keyboard. Some of my kids write music too. Unfortunately, after many years of trying to get any of my works published, I have never published anything. This saddens me a lot because we have tried and tried. But at least I can know that I did my best to develop my talents and encourage my children as well to develop theirs. Thanks for this lovely 🥰 story. It made my day.❤❤❤❤❤

Lovely ending listening from NYC on a very stormy dark day at 11:00am, Saturday. The Duke did the right thing. If he didn’t Cordelia would have still been hidden away as she was taught to be invisible.

Such an interesting variety of comments. I enjoyed the story. I found it to be a little different than most of the stories I've listened to, and I appreciated that.

Good story, loved the visuals also. Had to listen twice to catch the will clause, that Codelia's income would stop if Cordelia left the house or married, hmm, which is why the girl was hidden in place.
