One of his beginnings that I had time to note before I was lost in the flood of melody was of two notes, the second a fifth higher than the first, with a "grace-note," very low indeed, before each one.
There should be a flageolet, whence the Cigarette, with cunning touch, should draw melting music under the stars; or perhaps, laying that aside, upraise his voice somewhat thinner than of yore, and with here and there a quaver, or call it a natural grace-note in rich and solemn psalmody.

All this, simmering in my mind, set me wishing to go aboard one of these ideal houses of lounging.
Down to "virtue," the current S and R are both announced and repeated unobtrusively, and by way of a grace-note that almost inseparable group PVF is given entire.
The operator's head appeared to be gliding out of my range of vision; then the windows of the north-bound train slid past, faster and faster.

This is a rough rendering of the song, but you must imagine what it sounds like when it breaks the afternoon hush of the Jungle:
But to-day we know how to deal with the invisible enemy. Thanks to Antiseptic Surgery, that younger daughter of Science and Genius, as some smart fellow puts it in the National Review." And the pleasant little tune was whistled through to its final grace-note as the two men went down the house-passage and crossed the garden.

Down to 'virtue, the current S and R are both announced and repeated unobtrusively, and by way of a grace-note that almost inseparable group PVF is given entire.
