Immediately I got up and dressed, I stuck my violin under my jacket and went out into the streets to try my . I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely , feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
I felt tense and . It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from under the jacket like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling overhead, that I was about to myself. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the before me, the violin under my chin.

But a man with an expensive hat, briefcase or dog: respectable types were the least of all. Except for retired army officers, who would shout "Why aren't you , young man?" and then would over-tip to cover up their confusion.

She me a twenty-dollar bill and the same smile card I had given to her. She smiled and said, “These are for you. You are the one who gave these to me , right? All I need you to do is ask the barista to give the back to me.” It was amazing! It was as if this woman had been waiting to show her for what I had done!
When she got back into her today she was all smiles. I could tell she had the same feeling as I had on that early Sunday morning. It was nice to have my coffee paid for, but what made me feel even better was seeing the happiness and smile on her face.
As I pulled out of the drive-thru, she waved and yelled out, “Have a day!” I yelled back “You too!” and waved her goodbye.
