said audience pointed out two people sitting where the sound was coming from. “they were staring at me firmly,” he said of the couple. eventually, the man put his hand in his pocket and the ringing stopped.the conductor said he asked the man if he was sure the phone was quieted. “then he nodded his head,” mr gilbert said.people in the hall had been shouting for the sound to stop. mr pelkonen reported that they yelled: “thousand-dollar fine!” “kick him out!” “get out!”once the phone was finally silenced, gilbert apologized to the audience. they responded with cheers and applause(掌声). and
