He had composed some instrumental things, but he knew that the theatre and not the concert-room was his vocation. He must have reflected that even writers of successful operas had died in poverty, either utterly abject, as Mozart died, or comparative, as Weber died. On the other hand Rossini had made a fortune and Meyerbeer was making one. What then?

But Franz was young, and Franz was poor, and his mother had to be supported. She was his first care.
we hate; and never see them in a concert-room without heartily wishing they and their tatooer might tumble, helter-skelter, from their topmost perch into the very lowest depth, if there be one lower than another, of the orchestra; and thereby sustain such a compound fracture, attended by loss of substance, as should put it out of their power, for that night at least, to torture our fastidious ears.
But remember, it takes a lot of voice to make much effect in this concert-room, and the place is crowded. Now the duchess has done. Come on. Mind the bottom step. Hang it all! How dark it is behind this curtain!" Garth gave her his hand, and Jane mounted the steps and passed into view of the large audience assembled in the Overdene concert-room.

Poor Florence lost much pleasure in disappointment at his non-appearance, but when the concert was over they found him sitting in the carriage, reading.
At last he hitched up the band of his trousers, and, hastening round to the front door, essayed to re-enter the concert-room. "Pay here, please," cried the money-taker, in an extremely nasal tone, as he passed the little hole in the wall. "I've paid already," answered Larry. "Shew your check, then."
