Chapter 2. Sense and Sensibleness
Laurie and Xor soon reached the little town of Bach. It was very confusing at first, because
the name “Bach” appeared on everything: Bach Street, Bach Avenue, Bach Plaza—even the
sidewalk was labeled sidebach . They finally found Bach Haus down Bach Way.
Laurie knocked on the enormous front door. A tall lady with frizzy white hair and an elegant
coat answered. “Hello, what can I do for you?” she asked.
“Are you Eponymous Bach? I'm Laurie. I was told you can help me.”
“If I can't help solve your problem, I can at least give it a name. Do come in and have some
tea.”
The house was impressive on the outside, but on the inside it was a mess! Strange machines
were shoved against the walls, cobwebs hung down from the corners, tools were scattered on
the floor, and piles and piles of paper with scribbled notes were everywhere. A violin was
stuffed into a flowerpot. Xor jumped out of Laurie's pocket to hunt some insects.
