What had my fond Papa been saying about me? Wanting to sink
through the floor, I shot a look in his direction, but Papa, blind with
parental pride, could not see my discomfort. I could feel a wretched blush,
that bane of my life, throbbing into my cheeks.
"Your Papa says that you appreciate good music and that
you sing."
These were his first words to me. There wasn't a hint of
condescension or mockery in his voice. Shy and proud as a cat, I had braced for
it.
"I hear all of your music that I can, Kapellmeister Mozart."
I remember rocking up on my toes. I absolutely couldn't stop
myself.
Here I was, talking to this magician!
"She clearly has excellent taste! Come here, Princess
Gottlieb. Sit beside me."

I loved Mozart's Wife, so am certain this one will be just as good, probably better.
LOVE, love, love Juliet's Mozart books...and her Early American books... And if she ever finishes Black Magic, her "paranormal" books.
