He didn't care a twopenny fiddlestring about the Cause, but he rather enjoyed the idea of having his finger in the political pie. Also it is possible, though I should think highly improbable, that he admired Lena Dubarri. Anyhow, when Lena gave a rather gloomy account of the existing state of things in the Suffragette World, Waldo was not merely sympathetic but ready with a practical suggestion.
Live Fiddlestring forever!" Wherefrom follow Abolition Congresses, Odes to the Gallows; perhaps some dirty little Bill, getting itself debated next Session in Parliament, to waste certain nights of our legislative Year, and cause skipping in our Morning Newspaper, till the abortion can be emptied out again and sent fairly floating down the gutters.
'In the interpretation of a rigid morality arming you legal gentlemen to make it so! 'The Law must be vindicated. 'The law is a clumsy bludgeon. 'We think it the highest effort of human reason the practical instrument. 'You may compare it to a rustic's finger on a fiddlestring, for the murdered notes you get out of the practical instrument. 'I am bound to defend it, clumsy bludgeon or not.
'Blood Rile, she said; and her friends all said 'No! like the run of a finger down a fiddlestring. A gentleman of his acquaintance called on him one evening to take him out for a walk.

Fanny, a bright-looking, but rather reckless girl, replied: "They shall not go, neither Miss Martha nor Miss Emma; not that I care a fiddlestring for their primness or their precision; nobody shall prevent me from thinking, and acting, and doing as I please to-day; from being, in short, what I was made to be Fanny Brighton, and nobody else."

As old Don draws to a point, the grouse pulls himself up rigidly by a stump and watches the dog. So both stand like statues; the dog held by the strange instinct which makes him point, lost to sight, sound and all things else save the smell in his nose, the grouse tense as a fiddlestring, every sense alert, watching the enemy whom he thinks to be fooled by his good hiding.
Depart thou; do some benevolent work; at lowest, be silent. Disappear, I say; away, and jargon no more in that manner, lest a worst thing befall thee." Exeat Fiddlestring!
