"I know it, papa," she murmured.
"We tried to play Beethoven's sonata without you," continued Panshine, caressingly throwing his arm over the old man's shoulder and smiling sweetly; "but we didn't succeed in bringing it to a harmonious conclusion. Just imagine, I couldn't play two consecutive notes right."

His fierce eyes rested tenderly upon her as she sat holding the motherless infant caressingly in her arms.

Laying his arm heavily round her neck he stammered caressingly, "Yes, yes, I'm coming, my dove, only have patience."

As she came to the last line, her voice began suddenly to shake. "Ah, no matter! More was lost " She broke down with a sob and hid her face among the ivy leaves. "Zita!"
