A Singer’s Romance Willa Cather
The story develops very well. The readers wonder how the relation between the “competent” opera singer, Frau Selma Schumann, and a
the broad shouldered young man, Signorino will end. Will she have a romance with him? Why doesn’t he talk to her. Why is he always playing the role of a “shadow”?
Everything is revealed at the end of the story. The Signorino was not seducing her nor did he like her. Actually the woman he loved was not the singer, but the 16-year-old singer’s servant. That’s why ‘Toinette persistently asked Madam whether she wanted to drink champagne. Actually, she wanted to go out to meet the man.
The humor lies in the end when she breaks her determination to give up eating pastry and drinking champagne. The ending goes: “Then she ordered her breakfast—and a quart of champagne.
