(A)
Henrietta is one of the greatest “queens of song.” She
had to go through a severe struggle before (a) she
attained the enviable position as the greatest singer
Germany had produced. At the beginning of her
career she was hissed off a Vienna stage by the friends
of her rival, Amelia. But in spite of this defeat,
Henrietta endured until all Europe was at her feet.

(B)
The answer was, “That’s my mother, Amelia
Steininger. She used to be a great singer, but she lost
her voice, and she cried so much about it that now (b)
she can’t see anymore.” Henrietta inquired their
address and then told the child, “Tell your mother an
old acquaintance will call on her this afternoon.” She
searched out their place and undertook the care of
both mother and daughter. At her request, a skilled
doctor tried to restore Amelia’s sight, but it was in
vain.
