The instruments registered results which seemed inexplicable by any natural law; a lath, cast carelessly on a table, rose in the air, nodded gravely to the astonished scientist, and proceeded to tap out messages alleged to come from the world beyond; chairs moved in ghostly fashion up and down the room; invisible beings lifted Home himself from the floor; spirit hands were seen and felt; an accordeon, held by Sir William, played tunes apparently of its own volition, and afterward floated about the room, still playing.
Ferriday reached out, put his arm about her farther shoulder, and squeezed her to him after the manner of dosing an accordeon. Kedzie emitted the same kind of squeak. But she was not unhappy, and she did not even say, "Sir!"
Two Blighted Beings, haggard, lachrymose, and detested, met on a blasted heath in the light of a struggling moon. "I wish you a merry Christmas," said the First Blighted Being, in a voice like that of a singing tomb. "And I you a happy New Year," responded the Second Blighted Being, with the accent of a penitent accordeon.
The orthography of these "spirits" is "bad if not worse." Now for an explanation of the various "manifestations" that I have enumerated. The medium is simply handy with her feet. To sound the accordeon and ring the bell at the same time, she has to take off one of her shoes or slippers, the latter being generally worn by her on these occasions.
They try to shut their saddening eyes, And in the vain endeavour We see them twinkling in the skies, And so they wink forever. What do YOU think of these verses my friends? Is that piece an impromptu? said my landlady's daughter. Long ringlets. Cameo pin. Gold pencil-case on a chain. Locket. Bracelet. Album. Autograph book. Accordeon.
Tirzah Ann looked completely squelched and could do nothin' only weakly ask: "If I spozed I could git him to play on a accordeon, she kinder thought that some time she'd hearn of some man, somewhere havin' his mind soothed by one." "Accordeon!" sez I. "You couldn't git his mind offen that plan if you gin him one of the golden harps we read about."
A great man takes an hour to dress, and Nelongo was evidently soothing the toils of the toilette with a musical bellows called an accordeon. He took the first opportunity of curtly saying in better Portuguese than usual, "There is no more march to-day!"
"I don't believe you feel right, either. I just know you've got an awful headache right now. Do let the man give you a nice piece of this steak." "Don't, I beg of you, Lady Ashmorton! The suggestion is extremely repugnant to me. Besides, I'm behaving this way because I arose with the purely humourous fancy that my head was a fine large accordeon, and that some meddler had drawn it out too far.
Mirza Abdul Karim Khan plays a German accordeon, and Prince Assabdulla sings a Persian love-song; the leafy branches of poplar groves are whispering in response to a gentle breeze, and playing hide-and-seek across the golden face of the moon, and the mountains have assumed a shadowy, indistinct appearance. It is a scene of transcendental loveliness, characteristic of a Persian moonlight night.
To this there was no response, and being launched on her favorite topic, Aunt Betsy continued: "If you'll believe it, Helen here is one of 'em, and has got a sight of 'Piscopal quirks into her head. Why, she and Morris sing that talkin'-like singin' Sundays when the folks git up and Helen plays the accordeon."
