Her mother, hearing the unusual burst of melody, came downstairs to see what musical guest had arrived; but when she discovered it was her own little daughter who was playing so divinely she had an attack of palpitation of the heart (to which she was subject) and sat down upon a sofa until it should pass away. HER MOTHER HEARING THE UNUSUAL BURST OF MELODY CAME DOWNSTAIRS TO SEE WHAT MUSICAL GUEST HAD ARRIVED BUT WHEN SHE DISCOVERED IT WAS HER OWN LITTLE DAUGHTER WHO WAS PLAYING SO DIVINELY SHE HAD AN ATTACK OF PALPITATION OF THE HEART TO WHICH SHE WAS SUBJECT AND SAT DOWN UPON A SOFA UNTIL IT SHOULD PASS AWAY
 upon the hall table and picking out the chocolate pieceŌĆöshe was fond of chocolatesŌĆöate it daintily while she examined her purchases. These were not many, for Bessie was only twelve years old and was not yet trusted by her parents to expend much money at the stores. But while she tried on the hair ribbon she suddenly felt a great desire to play upon the piano, and the desire at last became so overpowering that she went into the parlor and opened the instrument. The little girl had, with infinite pains, contrived to learn two ŌĆ£piecesŌĆØ which she usually executed with a jerky movement of her right hand and a left hand that forgot to keep up and so made dreadful discords. But under the influence of the chocolate bonbon she sat down and ran her fingers lightly over the keys producing such exquisite harmony that she was filled with amazement at her own performance. That was the prelude, however. The next moment she dashed into BeethovenŌĆÖs seventh sonata and played it magnificently.  BONBON DISH THAT STOOD UPON THE HALL TABLE AND PICKING OUT THE CHOCOLATE PIECE SHE WAS FOND OF CHOCOLATES ATE IT DAINTILY WHILE SHE EXAMINED HER PURCHASES THESE WERE NOT MANY FOR BESSIE WAS ONLY TWELVE YEARS OLD AND WAS NOT YET TRUSTED BY HER PARENTS TO EXPEND MUCH MONEY AT THE STORES BUT WHILE SHE TRIED ON THE HAIR RIBBONS SHE SUDDENLY FELT A GREAT DESIRE TO PLAY UPON THE PIANO AND THE DESIRE AT LAST BECAME SO OVERPOWERING THAT SHE WENT INTO THE PARLOR AND OPENED THE INSTRUMENT THE LITTLE GIRL HAD WITH INFINITE PAINS CONTRIVED TO LEARN TWO PIECES WHICH SHE USUALLY EXECUTED WITH A JERKY MOVEMENT OF HER RIGHT HAND AND A LEFT HAND THAT FORGOT TO KEEP UP AND SO MADE DREADFUL DISCORDS BUT UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE CHOCOLATE BONBON SHE SAT DOWN AND RAN HER FINGERS LIGHTLY OVER THE KEYS PRODUCING SUCH EXQUISITE HARMONY THAT SHE WAS FILLED WITH AMAZEMENT AT HER OWN PERFORMANCE THAT WAS THE PRELUDE HOWEVER THE NEXT MOMENT SHE DASHED INTO BEETHOVEN'S SEVENTH SONATA AND PLAYED IT MAGNIFICENTLY
