Caryn Zachmann thought of this and suddenly remembered something. She said to Celine Tucker, "Oh, Mom, I heard that Mr. Norton has returned to the country. Do you know his whereabouts?"
Mr. Norton is a leading konghou (ancient Chinese harp) master in the country with extraordinary musical accomplishments. If she could become a student of Mr. Norton and learn konghou from him, she would someday surpass that Lighten Chaser in popularity!
Celine Tucker obviously had heard of Mr. Norton's reputation and smiled, saying, "I'll ask your grandfather about it another day. Your grandfather has a good relationship with Mr. Norton. If he really has returned to Beijing, your grandfather should know. Then I'll take you to visit..."
Not just anyone could visit Mr. Norton, nor see him whenever they wished.
