The twisting of a neck-cloth, the thrusting of a body behind a door could be done in an instant so long as it was that instant. It was the same, of course," he continued turning to Flambeau, "with that poor fellow under the bandstand. And here, of course, when the knock-out blow came it would not be the only one. That is the little trick Nigger Ned has adopted from his old God of Gongs."
Rain was still falling in sheets, and the wind was still high. Rachael braved it, late in the afternoon, to go out and see with her own eyes that the surf was foaming and frothing over the deserted bandstand at the end of the main street, and got back to the shelter of the house wet and gasping, and with the first little twist of personal fear at her heart.
The band began to play a waltz from "A Persian Princess." Joanna felt once more in her blood the strange stir of the music she could not understand. It would be nice to dance ... queer that she had so seldom danced as a girl. She stood for a moment irresolute, then walked towards the bandstand, and sat down on one of the corporation benches, outside the crowd that had grouped round the musicians.
There is a well-conducted hospital and clean, well-built barracks; for the amusement of the black soldiers even a theatre, and for the higher officials attractive bungalows, a bandstand, where twice a week a negro band plays by ear, and plays exceedingly well.

There was a platform for speakers, and a bandstand, and before eight o'clock on Tuesday evening a great crowd had assembled to take part in the exercises. That one of the Central High school girls had suggested and really planned the affair, made it all the more popular. "What won't Laura Belding think of next?" asked those who knew her. But Laura did not put herself forward in the affair.
'You know that little place they call the "Kiosk" down the Grand Parade, near the bandstand, asked Harlow after a pause. 'Where they used to sell refreshments? 'Yes; it belongs to the Corporation, you know. 'It's been closed up lately, ain't it? 'Yes; the people who 'ad it couldn't make it pay; but I 'eard last night that Grinder the fruit-merchant is goin' to open it again.
Eventual access to a fine, broad terrace, a fine, long façade, a bandstand, and people listening and walking up and down, people listening and drinking beer or coffee at more little tables, people listening and reading on rows of chairs, people standing to listen with all their ears; but not for a long time the person I sought.
At the foot of the bandstand steps, conversing with a small group of operatives that surrounded him, she perceived the man who had just spoken. And as she stood hesitating, gazing at him, a desire to hear more, to hear all of this creed he preached, that fed the fires in her soul, urged her forward.
