"I never composed anything except two or three little things that I never dared to play, even for encores." "Never say you can't. Say 'I must, and 'I will." "You're saying them for me. You almost make me believe in myself." "That's the very best of beginnings, isn't it?" She was quite calm now, outwardly, and she drew her hand away.
They sang as they never had done in their lives. It is unnecessary to say that their efforts were received with tremendous rounds of encores by the delighted host. The music was interspersed with appropriate speeches from the mayor and other civic dignitaries.
This they did and he got more encores and whistles and clapping of hands than anything else that was shown that afternoon, more even than the ponies. Before they brought him in, the Ring Master came in and said: "Now ladies and gentlemen, I am about to introduce to you the oldest and most wonderful astrologer now living.
Like we was doing for foolery yestiday. That was what put it into my 'ead. Easy make up a programme easy. Six choice items, and one or two for encores and patter. I'm all right for the patter anyhow."
His pagan opponents, however, asserted that the clapping of hands and encores bestowed on the more elaborate passages of his sermons were performed by persons duly arranged in the congregation, and paid for their trouble. If doubt remains as to his intellectual endowments, there can be none respecting the qualities of his heart.
