She studiously kept up the fiction of his deafness by writing her orders. The question of allowing him to undertake his part as a spy had drifted into the background of her mind under the distressing and ever-present pressure of the crisis.
She accompanied him on his first tour, but after that, not. The Bohemian composer Smetana married his pupil, Katharine Kolar; he was another of those whose happiness deafness ruined. He was immortalised in a composition as harrowing as any of Poe's stories, or as Huneker's "The Lord's Prayer in B," the torment of one high note that rang in his head unceasingly, until it drove him mad.
Well, I sold her a horn, and the very next day She heard from her husband in Botany Bay. Again, his definition of deafness: Deaf as the dog's ears in Enfield's "Speaker."

It is surely proper that an author should write of them. I cultivate a love which is intellectual, and of a former epoch, besides a deafness to the present.
He felt momentarily as if his ear-drums must burst with the incessant and tremendous concussions registered upon them; but presently this sensation passed, leaving him with that of permanent deafness.
