Meet Dinny. She is one hard working girl. All day long she scrubs and cleans and dusts for her employer, the owner of the bank in town. He, his wife, and his three children keep Dinny so busy that she scarecely has time to pursue what matters most to her. Dinny has a dream. And that dream is to be a famous singer. Opera singer to be exact.
For three hours each night, after having cleaned the supper plates and tucked the children into bed, Dinny practices singing. Scales up and down, arpeggios, and her favorite part, pieces that she has heard at the opera house when she was able to save enough to buy a ticket. She knows what she will look like. She will wear a red dress, a black capelet, and have a ruby necklace and matching ring. For now, Dinny must continue to clean and dust and sweep, but perhaps someday, she will command audiences with her beautiful voice.
