High notes

Mrs Jones was very fond of singing. She had a good voice except that some of her high
notes tended to sound like a gate which someone had forgotten to oil. She was very
conscious of this weakness, and took every opportunity she could find to practise these
high notes without disturbing the family. She usually went for a walk along country
roads and whenever she heard a car or person coming, she stopped practising.
