The magic words of the boy danced and sparkled among the notes:

Good morning!


I have a problem with understanding the meaning of the sentence from The Valley of the Moon by Jack London. (Chapter VII).

She sang as she worked, and ever as she sang the magic words of the boy danced and sparkled among the notes: OAKLAND IS JUST A PLACE TO START FROM.

What boy is that? What does it mean ?


Thanks
