But whenever there was a special number, trouble would begin; Apenyo would try singing along, much to the embarrassment of her mother. After two or three such mortifying Sunday evenings, the mother stopped going to church altogether until Apenyo became older and learnt to behave.

She was by now convinced that her daughter had inherited her love of singing from her father who had died unexpectedly away from home.
