What brought agony to the girls during the music lessons?

उत्तर

During the music lesson, Miss. Meadows did not show any warmth. She was icy cold and mechanical in her instructions. Children could easily realize that Miss. Meadow was in a wax. Miss. Meadow totally ignored the chrysanthemum from her favorite pupil. She also did not respond to her greeting. This sent tremors across the class. Young ones quickly understood the unstated message that music Miss was in one of her worst moods confirming their guess, she gave them “a lament” to practice.

The lesson was devoid of any warmth and joy. The lyrics of the song were so gloomy that children entered the world of unnatural agony and despair.
