Answer 2

Mood of Miss Meadows saw a drastic change before and after receiving the telegram.

• The question has been asked from the story The Singing Lesson by Katherine Mansfield.
• Miss Meadows, was a music teacher, who received a letter from her fiancé Basil, stating that he is not ready to marry her and feels he would be filled with disgust by the marriage.
• On receiving the telegram she was full of fear and sorrow and started seeing everyone and everything in a negative light, because of her bad mood.
• Her normal calm and happy disposition was dull and furious, and this change was not unnoticed by her students. She was also rude to them.
• However, she again receives a letter where Basil had told her to ignore the first letter and the marriage was happening. The telegram certainly lights up her mood and with her normal cheery attitude she gets back.
