Sorry, sweetheart,
Unfortunately, I looked at this page only after I already posted my entry with @phil-glaz and am not sure I have the right to do the second one with someone else. But I'll be curious to read what you wrote.
Thank you!
@carolkean has already finished it for me. I suppose you could take a crack at it if you want - I'm not clear on how wewrites work.
Ah. ow well. I started a little, but if she already wrote the continuation, then maybe next time.
Truly, a stranger’s soul is full of vague void for the fact of Edgar’s blurting out the word "Phantom!" was the phenomenon “without warning or apparent cause” only for Elsie’s house guests. The truth was that their opinion was as indifferent to Edgar as bouquets sunflowers tossed in a corner of the mudroom. There were, of course, people who could have deduced the cause of Edgar’s outbursts, but Edgar behaved decently in their presence so they had no material for the deduction.
People capable of this deduction weren’t police investigators or private eyes, for what caused Edgar’s outpourings weren’t anything that happened in the “real world.”
Once in his early years, even before he married Elsie, Edgar was at an unusual concert of two autistic and mute children who could only communicate through music. They sat on both sides of the grand piano and talk to each other on the language of a music, continuing each other’s sound figures, changing each other’s melodies, clearly competing in the sound assertion and laughing at the same time.
Thank you so much for continuing this! Haha the idea that Edgar knew who could figure him out so he behaved around those people is a good one. He was a rascal.
I didn't continue it since you've already had a continuation. He wasn't a rascal per se, he was just afraid to be exposed because, in his mind, the way how he wrote music was cheating.
