I arrived as they were working on a piece in which I was not playing, so I went and sat down in the auditorium to listen. My eyes were soon drawn to a gorgeous girl over the other side of the hall, a real beauty and naturally went over to say hello - and yes it turned out she was the harpist.
Incidentally, I later saw her with the boy friend, so that didn't go anywhere
