Chapter Eighteen: Marshall's Proposal
Marshall was more than a little exasperated with Sterling, who seemed to be refusing to concentrate that morning. "Sterling, old man ... I said C minor progression. What exactly do you call what you just played?"
Sterling stared down at the keyboard of the harpsichord, as if it could explain his error. "Hmmm ... a new minor progression?"
Evan laughed, from where he was tuning his new mandolin. "Let's hope not, lads -- that cacophony doesn't belong in anyone's repertoire."
"I'm not so sure." This from Marshall. "It would be well- suited to punk rock, don't you think?"
Sterling was intrigued. "Is that what you played, in your world, Marshall?"
"Certainly not! Heavy metal, twit. You know that."
"Didn't realize there was a difference."
Evan swore as one of the strings broke. "Most people wouldn't think there is. You'd have to be an aficionado of that fringe music."
"Fringe!" Marshall was more indignant by the moment. "I'll have you know Stockholm's last album went triple platinum. That means it sold three million copies," he added, before Sterling could ask.
Sterling looked stunned beyond belief. "You don't mean ... three million people bought the thing? What you said? How could there be three million people?"
"There are nine million in London alone. That's one city." Sterling's eyes were glazing over. He was incapable of coping with the thought of that many people. Marshall was studying him closely. "Sterling, have you noticed that your speech is becoming more like ours, and less like your people?"
"No, I can't say that I have. Your speech does seem simpler, somehow."
