To those already mentioned, I should like to add the names of Hopkinson and Brinsmead in England; Bechstein and Bluthner in Germany; all well-known makers. By HENRY A. MOTT, JR., Ph.D., etc. This salt is an article of commerce, and is used technically and medicinally. Nitrate of silver possesses an acrid metallic taste and acts as a violent poison.
So she kept Maurice as close to her as work permitted; and as the winter's flood of concerts set in, in full force, he accompanied her, almost nightly, to the Old Gewandhaus or the ALBERTHALLE; for Madeleine was an indefatigable concert-goer, and never missed a performer of note, rarely even a first appearance at the HOTEL DE PRUSSE or a BLUTHNER MATINEE. On the night she herself played in an AIBENDUNTERHALTUNG, with the easily gained success that attended all she did, Maurice went with her to the green-room, and was the first afterwards to tell her how her performance had "gone."
I will give you a letter of introduction to the house of Blühm & Bluthner at Caracas, who will be glad to cash your drafts at the current rate of exchange, and to whose care I will address any letters I may have occasion to write to you." This concluded my business with Mr. Van Voorst, and three days later I was once more in Caracas. I found the place very little altered, less than I was myself.
And the amounts added up to alarming totals; Maurice had no idea what a woman's dress cost, and could only stand amazed; but the sum spent on fruit and flowers alone, in two months, represented to his eyes a small fortune. Then there was the Bluthner, the unused piano; the hire of it had not been paid since the previous summer.
"Sandy, you're a beast!" "Not a bit. I believe I could compose a symphonic poem under the influence of salmon and shrimp sandwiches if I had enough of them." "You've had enough," retorted Nan promptly. "So come along and begin." She swept him away to the big music-room, where a polished floor and an absence of draperies offered no hindrance to the tones of the beautiful Blüthner piano.
'Bluthner it is; and here's Mulligan and Keefe on their feet. 'Bring 'em up please, Blut. We're supposed to be the Four in charge of this hamlet. What we says, goes. And, De Forest, what do you say? 'Nothing yet, De Forest answered, as we made room for the panting, reeling men. 'You've cut out of system. Well?
"And I suppose you will end by getting a million, eh?" "No such luck! But I'm getting a piano. Did I tell you? A Blüthner. It's already on the way up from Mohamera." "A Blüthner! In Shuster! God in heaven! Why did you wait until I had gone?" "Well, aren't you still here?" The fact of Magin's being still there, so unexpectedly, hung in his mind.
And then Bluthner he had to sit up all night in charge of the circuits because he couldn't trust his men to keep 'em shut. 'It was trying 'em too high, the Chief of Police broke in. 'But we couldn't hold the Crowd ground-circuited for ever. I gathered in all the Serviles on charge of Crowd-making, and put 'em in the water-tower, and then I let things cut loose. I had to!
Poppit had talked about little else than her new upright Bluthner before her visit to Buckingham Palace, a moment's reflection convinced Miss Mapp that this was a very unlikely mode of conveyance for any guest.... She watched for a few moments more, but as no other friends appeared in the station-yard, she concluded that they were hanging about the street somewhere, poor things, and decided not to make inquiries about her coke just yet.
A big man rose unsteadily from the street, and staggered towards us where we sat on the broad turf-edging, in front of the garden fences. 'I ought to be the first on my feet. Am I? said he. 'Yes, said De Forest, and steadied him as he dropped down beside us. 'Hello, Andy. Is that you? a voice called. 'Excuse me, said the Mayor; 'that sounds like my Chief of Police, Bluthner!
