Chapter 24: The Ninetieth Day

The decree became final on a Friday, and the Harbor Symphony opened its season that same night.

I did not know whether to laugh or cry, so I did both in the cab.

On the way I stopped at the church hall.

The bedsheet was gone from the front of the building.

In its place hung a real sign, painted by Thad's husband in cream and green.

ANNE LINFORD STRINGS, it said. FREE LESSONS. EVERY CHILD.

I stood on the sidewalk in my concert black with my cello at my feet and read it three times.

"Do you like it?" Thad said, appearing at the door in a velvet bow tie. "Say you like it. I cried when he finished the N."

"Where did the money come from?"

"A certain cashier's check you cashed on the Monday after the gala."

"Back wages," I said. "Six years at a nurse's rate."

"It covers the roof, the insurance, the new radiators, and two scholarships. And it's a little over. I've been told to say that we're keeping the lost-and-found cello for the kids who don't have one."

"I'd like that."

He hugged me, hard, in his bow tie.

"Go be a third chair," he said, into my hair. "Make us all cry."
