Normally the organizers would have provided for more that one performance, but this was one of those times they had simply underestimated the amount of local interest. Arriving late, I had stood in the back of the room, against the far wall, and had felt the crowd close in as more and more late-comer's also had to stand. By the time for the performance to begin we were packed in the over-crowded room like sardines, bunched up against each other tightly. The last row of seats was immediately in front of me, and I had enjoyed looking at the young woman directly in front of me as I had waited for the concert to begin. |
