There was the moment’s pause, followed by the slow chaos which can so often accompany an unexpected calamity. The conductor dropped his baton and turned to Kirsten, but the orchestra carried on playing for a few more phrases, and then petered out in an almost comical way down to the last peep from the last instrument. The audience, at first embarrassed and then confused, seemed to draw a collective breath before breaking out into excited mutterings. The conductor, stooped over his fallen soloist and seemingly trying to raise her head as she struggled for breath, frantically indicated that medical help was needed. One or two members of the audience rushed forwards to assist. After that, Laura lost sight of Kirsten, just catching glimpses of her shiny green dress through the cluster of bodies. She registered the sight of Mr and Mrs Posh quietly leaving, whilst the man in the aviator hat seemed to push forward in the hope of making out what was happening. And then she saw Rupert, pulling himself up onto the stage and picking up Kirsten’s discarded clarinet. He was thoughtfully sniffing the mouthpiece.
