Prologue
The sound of children's laughter was easily heard in the wind as two little girls; both with smiles on their faces ran along the shore of the beach by a small cottage. "Come on, Christine!" said the one that was running ahead of the other, not at all affected by the high wind that was drowned out by the roar of the ocean. "Kathleen! Wait up!" said the other that was called 'Christine', who struggled against the wind.
"Oh!" cried Christine as her red scarf blew off of her shoulders and landed into the sea. "Don't worry Christine I got it!" cried a young boy as he ran into the sea and retrieved Christine's scarf. "I told you to put it on right Chrissie, or else you'll lose it like that!" said the one called Kathleen as she was by her sister holding her close as they both watched the boy fight against the waves to retrieve the scarf. The boy walked towards them holding the red scarf in hand with a smile of triumph on his face. "Just because you got Chris's scarf back doesn't mean you can marry her Raoul!" Kathleen said as she put her hands on her hips looking like an angry mom seeing her child causing trouble. "Maybe so but doesn't it mean that I receive a kiss?" Raoul asked handing the scarf back to Christine who only blushed as Raoul leaned his face to hers waiting for the kiss. "Ha! The only you'll get is a bad cold if we don't go back to papa!" giggled Kathleen knowing her sister was embarrassed by their playful and teasing friend Raoul who only moaned as Kat started to push him towards the cottage, where his nanny was waiting for him with a sour look on her face. "Oh come on Kat!" he moaned as Christine ran after them still holding onto the red scarf that was soaking wet and also cold.
Augustus Daaẽ laughed as he saw his twin daughters come from their little adventure with the young De Changy soaking wet and the look on Mrs. Mancusi, the boy's nanny, was the sourest face he had ever seen. "It seems that master De Changy has got himself into another mishap for today," he said as he sobered his face trying to be the responsible parent in front of the angry and worried nanny. "Oh, master Raoul!" she said practically acting like a mother hen over a baby chick as she wrapped Raoul up in her shawl.
"We are getting you home and have you in a nice warm bed before you catch cold!" she said as she picked the boy up and started carrying him up the pat way to the De Changy mansion. "But I haven't gotten my reward from Christine yet!" he whined as he was carried away. "The only thing you are getting young man is a hot bath and a nice hot soup!" replied Mrs. Mancusi as they were half way up the bath. Augustus led his daughters inside and locked the door before feeding more wood to the fire to help warm the girls up. "So did you two have a fun time in the meadow today?" he asked as he poked the wood that was nearly ash. "Yes, papa," answered Christine as she hung her cloak and wet scarf by the door. "We also got to see a crab on the beach today papa!" added Kathleen as she had finished hanging up her cloak and scarf and started to set the table for supper. Augustus smiled at his daughters as he always did after they told him of their wild adventures in the meadow or on the beach, he was even more glad that no stranger had come upon the girls and kidnap one of them.
After they had their supper and help clean the dishes, the girls listened to their father play on his violin and sing along with the tune. Kathleen letting the music lead her, started to dance as she always did while singing. Christine would slowly join in and dance with her twin, looking like angels as they twirled around to the sound of their papa's violin.
These happy moments have always been the brightest of their lives as they knew their mama would be looking down at them and smiling as they make music that one would only call heavenly. The girls' voices were like of angels and their dancing was like they were part of the wind, and Augustus couldn't have been more bless nor happy then having his two girls creating music as was this family's dream even before they were born. As was what Augustus planned as he was getting an audition to play for the Paris opera house that was a week's travel from their home. The only thing he was worried about was leaving his girls alone with the De Changy's as Mrs. Mancusi had promised him today. He respected the family no doubt but he couldn't help but have a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.
