Summary Note
Margaret tells about the girls in the school who were rehearsing a play. She was watching one night when suddenly a little girl ran up on stage and began to dance. "I never saw anything funnier." The Siamese dance was very beautiful, but very formal, with every movement conveying some meaning. Siamese music "has an odd rhythmic cadence like nothing else I've ever heard, something rather primitive and yet quite sophisticated." (Length 0:53)
