Meanwhile two of his pupils were kneeling by the dulcimer, tuning the strings afresh and twanging them as a test of their work. Jankiel with half-closed eyes sat silent and held the hammers motionless in his fingers.
Now it so happened, that Dandy, who had been more than once, in the course of his visits, to the kitchen, promised, as he said, to metamurphy one of them into Mrs. Dulcimer, alias Murphy that being his real name was accidentally in the kitchen while the dialogue lasted, and for some time afterwards; and as the expectant Mrs.
But as she smiled the little Prince saw that her teeth were black; and as she shut her mouth he heard them clink together like pokers. "Come in," says she, and she took little Prince Ivan with her to a room in the palace, all broken down and cobwebbed. There was a dulcimer lying in the dust on the floor.
There is no reason why I should think dubiously of such an instrument, but I do not relish the idea of procuring music with a stick. With this dulcimer I shall be able to tap out our Irish melodies when I am abroad, and transport myself to Ireland for a few minutes, or a few bars. In preparation for this present I had through Saturday and Sunday been learning the notes of the Scale.
The master of the shop tried to recollect: she again repeated the name and description of her son. "I know a young French lad of that make," said the little dulcimer boy. "Do you? Where is he? Where does he lodge?" cried Mad. de Rosier. "I am not speaking as to his name, for I never heard his name," said the little boy; "but I'll tell you how I came to know him. One day lately "
"I remember now an old promise I made, and I keep it willingly." He took his dulcimer in his hand, and leapt from the ship into the blue Caspian Sea. The waves had scarcely closed over his head before the ship shot forward again, and flew over the waves like a swan's feather, and came in the end safely to her harbour. "And what happened to Sadko?" asked Maroosia.
"Father would have come again to your house," said the boy, who did not perceive her inattention "Father would have come to your house again, to play the tune the young gentleman fancied so much, but our dulcimer is broken." "Is it? I am sorry for it," said Mad. de Rosier. "But can you tell me," continued she to the ironmonger, "whether any emigrants lodge in the street to the left of your house?"
If thou art in love and charity with thy neighbours, thou art making sweeter harmony in the ears of the Lord Jesus Christ, than psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music.
For the same reason many of the ancient instruments were thrown aside, as the dulcimer and the lyre; as also those which were to inspire those who played on them with pleasure, and which required a nice finger and great skill to play well on.
Quakers don't believe in singing, and have no faith in sacred music of any kind. Neither the harp, nor the sackbut, nor the psaltery, nor the dulcimer will they have; neither organs nor bass fiddles will they countenance; neither vocalists nor instrumentalists, nor tune forks of any size or weight, will they patronise.
