...prize Conservatory graduate, went to Brazil in 1917 as attaché to the French legation there. In two years, however, he was back in Paris, leader of the Six? whose modern musical renown grew from their union. For some critics even then Milhaud stood apart. Some professed to find a queer, shadowy beauty in his music. Others dismissed him as crude, trifling, freakish (he once set a florist's catalog to music for voice and chamber orchestra).

They are enlightened and glad when she is pregnant before her time. Her lover comes to the fair; there is a brawl, her husband is killed. Effie marries the schoolteacher, who has always loved her; a few months later her child is born, but it is weakly, and soon dies. Then...
