Few violinists succeeded more completely in captivating their audiences than Henri Wieniawski, whose impetuous Slavonic temperament, with its warm and tender feeling, gave a colour to his playing, which placed his hearers entirely under his control, went straight to their hearts, and enlisted their sympathy from the very first note.
If they do not outvote them, the people of Germanic, of Slavonic, of Pelasgic, of Mongolian stock outnumber the prepotent Celts; and March seldom found his speculation centred upon one of these.

Among Slavonic peoples it appears to have lingered even longer.

"Then you turn back at Tver?" enquired Paul, at length breaking a long silence. "Yes; I must not leave Osterno just now. Perhaps later, when the winter has come, I will follow.
