  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. &nbsp;This was an unusual piece of work. It touches my heart 💜 as though an arrow pierced it. I am a musician. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;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 &nbsp;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. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;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&apos;ve listened to, and I appreciated that.

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