Synopsis

Despite Lester’s disapproval and Brenda's lack of interest in formal instruction, Mary resolved to purchase a piano. When Sandra and Rose came to inspect the instrument, Rose spontaneously offered Mary lessons, and Sandra expressed a desire for them too. It was then that Sandra proposed a wager: for twenty dollars, she would advance more quickly than Mary. After numerous lessons, Mary continued to find the process challenging. Pearl revealed to her that Sandra had previously studied piano. Durin
