"These are good seats," he commented, pleased that Benoit had provided a nice view of the stage - a good value for his money. Plus the delight of his sister was well worth it - she seemed very glad to be at the theater.

Hans patted her hand in a fond gesture of brotherly affection. "I am glad you came with me."
