No matter how much the player may feel the meaning of the music, he cannot express this meaning with stiff wrists and arms. Some people have a natural flexibility, and to such the securing of a musical tone presents far less difficulty; but with time, patience, and thought, I fully believe all can arrive at this goal.
But his mother had advised him to wait till he should have laid by a little for a "rainy day". The captain had recommended patience, tobacco, and philosophy, and had enforced his recommendations with sundry apt quotations from dead and living novelists, dramatists, and poets.
"I lose patience when I think how long we've stood the rascal in this state. I knew the people would rise in their indignation when they learned the truth about him." Mr. Flint did not answer this. He might have had other views. "I wonder we did not think of it before," Mr. Worthington continued. I congratulate you, Flint." "Congratulate yourself," said Mr.
