The doctor tells him his little friend is sinking fast and seems to miss something. Beppo looks at his violin and brightens. He begins to play. The child hears and the mother and father are startled. The child's face brightens at once with joy. She calls for Beppo and sends her father to bring him in. Beppo plays again and again the tunes which have been the child's delight.
