The essay which provoked the widest and fiercest hostility, especially amongst the Jews, was the Judaism in Music. The answer is that very great music has been written by Jews; that music was an English, a Flemish and an Italian art before the Germans knew anything about it; that if music must be idealized German speech, with its guttural chokings, the less we have of it the better.
Approaching the bed on 'all-fours, it leapt on its victim, the tragedy being accompanied this time by the most realistic chokings and gurgles, to all of which Tristram was obliged to listen in an agony of doubt and terror.

"It happens to women, too, does it not, mother?" said Dahlia. "They're most subject to trances, my sweet. From always imitatin' they imitates their deaths at last; and, oh!"

There sat her brother on the edge of the bedstead staring before him with fixed eyes and terror-stricken countenance. He had not heard her enter, and saw neither the light nor her who held it.

All the strange spasmodic movements, the chokings, the odd sounds, the wild talk, the laughing and crying, were in full blast. All the remedies which had been ordered seemed to have been of no avail.
Isabel rang her up during the morning a trunk call with the brave intention of expressing firm and unshakable optimism but the effort was pathetically tremulous and finally petered out with inarticulate sobs and chokings.

Emlyn made no answer, only lifted the wrappings and shook them, whereon a strip of paper that they had not seen fell to the table. "This may tell us," she said. "Read, if you can; it has words on its inner side." Cicely snatched at it, and as the writing was clear and clerkly, read with ease save for the chokings of her throat. It ran "My Lady Harflete,
