"I see thank you for saying what you did last night and you didn't mind you came to me anyway, in spite of that." She arose, and would have gone around the table to him, but he met her with open arms. "Oh, you boy! you do love me, you do!" "I must buy you one of those nice, shiny black ear-trumpets at the first stop.
He could not possibly steal it; but Herr Maelzel had several of the parts for some days in his house, and he caused the entire work to be harmonized by some obscure musical journeyman, and is now hawking it about the world. Herr Maelzel promised me ear-trumpets. I harmonized the "Battle Symphony" for his panharmonica from a wish to keep him to his word.
The insistent and intolerant horn of an automobile, followed now by the scream of the gears, broke the stillness of the country-side, and a familiar voice cried out "Do you want the whole road?" Austen turned into the Hammonds' drive as the bulldog nose of a motor forged ahead, and Mr. Crewe swung in the driver's seat. "Hello, Victoria," he shouted, "you people ought to have ear-trumpets."

This, coupled with the fact that he is deaf himself, turned his thoughts to the invention of the 'megaphone, a combination of one large speaking and two ear-trumpets, intended for carrying on a conversation beyond the ordinary range of the voice in short, a mile or two.
The ear-trumpets came at last, but were not of the service to me that I expected. For this slight trouble Herr Maelzel, after my having arranged the "Battle Symphony" for a full orchestra, and composed a battle-piece in addition, declared that I ought to have made over these works to him as his own exclusive property.
