George Baines: [to Ada] Lift your skirt. Life it higher. Higher. Higher! Lift it higher.
George Baines: [to Ada] Undo your dress. I want to see your arms. Play. Two keys.
Aunt Morag: You know, I am thinking of the piano. She does not play the piano like we do, Nessie. Up. Up! No, she is a strange creature. And her playing is strange, like a mood that passes into you. Up! Now, your playing is plain and true, and that i...
