“I heard you playing the other night，” she said. “The sounds woke me out of bed. I __14__ that you might play like this every night. So I wrote a short note. I hope you don't think I disliked the playing.”
Dario's mother smiled at Mrs Gilbert. “I think maybe we __15__ you an apology，” she said. “I didn't __16__ how late it was when we were playing.
Maybe we should play some quieter music at night.”
“You play, you play！” Mrs Gilbert said. “I like what you play! Just not so loud at night.” She pointed to the book she had given them. “These songs are not such __17__ music.”
“These songs are beautiful music，” Dario's mother said. “We will be __18__ to play them in the evening.”
“And we won't play so loud or late！” Dario said. He was already looking forward to __19__ the new music. More than that, however, he was happy to see the big smile on his mother's face. It gave him a feeling of __20__ and made him feel that they were home at last.
