"Temperament?" she asked. It had always been accepted in the little colony that Harmony was a real musician, a star in their lesser firmament.
The Big Soprano sniffed.
"If you like," she said. "Soul is a better word. Only the rich ought to have souls, Scatchy, dear."
This was over the younger girl's head, and anyhow Harmony was coming down the hall.
"I thought, under her pillow," she whispered. "She'll find it--"
Harmony came in, to find the Big Soprano heating a curler in the flame of a candle.
