This chapter details events in the life Edna Phillips during World War II. In the summer of 1942, Sam Rosenbaum entered the army as a major. Not long before Sam left, Phillips received a call from maestro Eugene Ormandy. Lynne Wainwright, her replacement as first harpist in the orchestra, had suddenly resigned her position, leaving Ormandy with little time to find a replacement. Would Phillips consider coming back to the orchestra? Surprised by the call, she hesitated. Sam, however, knew that a lonely life lay ahead for Edna with him overseas and urged her to accept Ormandy's offer. However, there was one problem Sam had not foreseen, and that was Eugene Ormandy. Very soon after Sam left, the maestro began, in Phillips's words, “to lay siege” to her, sending passionate looks in her direction during rehearsals, offering her special favors, and generally embarrassing her with his ill-disguised ardor. It was obvious to the whole orchestra what he was up to.
