singer, they appear to fall in love. He insists she return home to study and take exams. But on one return from a short tour, Dona realises he is married. She is devastated. Later their affair resumes, although her parents warn her against Lawry as they know he is married, and they worry about her career of being a singer. On returning from the next short tour, Lawry speaks to her parents outside the train station and says he will come and speak to them about things. They look pleased, but it is unclear what he might be planning. Whatever this is, everything changes when Lawry goes home and finds out his wife is pregnant. He does not go to meet Dona's parents. They wait for hours. She forgives him this and the affair resumes. But when the other musicians sing a celebration song to Lawry she discovers he is to be a father and she is furious and heart-broken. Lawry imagines breaking down a door and finding Dona dead from hanging herself. We see him dress sombrely with a black tie, but instead of going to Dona's funeral he goes to his own baby's naming ceremony. Instead of committing suicide Dona later sings a song about being betrayed and being 'in heaven', whilst crying on stage...
