...falls in with an immigrant ragamuffin nicknamed "The Fox"-an Italian version of the Artful Dodger -who gives his friend harsh glimpses of life in the New World, where it is often necessary to steal food just to stay alive. Joe also meets a soft-eyed refugee named Lucia. They huddle together on the fire escape of the Metropolitan Opera, listening to the music drifting out from the grand hall.

Boos followed for the weak conducting of her husband Richard Bonynge in the orchestra pit. Shaking her fist in fury, Miss Sutherland stomped onto the stage and stormed off again -refusing further curtain calls. Next day the Hamburg papers carried jittery editorials, worrying about whether Sutherland & Co. would pack up and go. No problem.
