But General Siddall's establishment presented a new phase to her and she thought it unique in dreadfulness and absurdity. The general had had a home life in his youth in a coal-miner's cabin near Wilkes-Barre. Ever since, he had lived in boarding-houses or hotels. As his shrewd and rapacious mind had gathered in more and more wealth, he had lived more and more luxuriously but always at hotels.
Humbler beginnings were never any man's who lived to become the honoured guest, not of kings and princes only, but of the truly greatest and noblest in the land. A coal-miner's life is often a very shifting one; for the coal in particular collieries gets worked out from time to time; and he has to remove, accordingly, to fresh quarters, wherever employment happens to be found.

And the same man who is ever asking about the most musical nation, is ever discovering the most musical man of the most musical nation.
