Lola lived in a lovely house, though it was near a noisy main road. In the evenings, she would draw the heavy curtains so that not a chink of light could pass them; this deadened the noise quite well. She could then practice the first movement of The Moonlight Sonata which had many a minim in it and produced a sense of calm. As she was playing, Benjy, her husband, came in and slumped in the sofa being soothed by the music. He fidgeted around trying to unpin his collar studs, disturbing any peacefulness the music had brought him. "Oh, tonight was humiliating - I had to pay a fine to unbid a stupid impulsive offer I'd made in the auction. And now I can't get these collar studs out." Lola came to his rescue and calmly and quickly undid the collar studs. "Right, let's get you to bed where you can sleep off today's hassles", soothed Lola.
