When it’s quiet she can hear their music, and when she looks out her window at midnight, she sees them sleeping outside. Finally, the day of the Christmas pageant arrives, but when it’s Frances’s turn to speak, all she can think about is the organ grinder’s sad eyes — until a door opens just in time, and she finds the perfect words to share.
