The great days of the year were, Election, General Election on Wednesday, and Artillery Election on the Monday following, at which time lilacs were in bloom and 'lection buns were in order; Fourth of July, when strawberries were just going out; and Commencement, a grand time of feasting, fiddling, dancing, jollity, not to mention drunkenness and fighting, on the classic green of Cambridge.
His interests were wide and intense, ranging from Anglo-Saxon roots to architectural designs, from fiddling to philosophy, from potatoes to politics, from rice to religion. In all these things, and in many more besides, he took the keenest interest; but in nothing, perhaps, did he display throughout his life a more unfaltering zeal than in the cause of education.
You ought to be going around to fairs, showing your tricks for money!" he laughed, and dealing Ingmar a hard whack on the shoulder, he remarked: "Oh, you'd make a fine school-teacher, you would!" In a twinkling he was back at the fireplace, fiddling away. Now there was a snap and a go to his performance. He beat time with his foot and set the dancers whirling.
By and by, the fiddler, finding that his enemy was entirely pacified, stopped playing, and started homeward, as fast as his legs would carry him. But the bull would not allow him to escape, and made after him. The poor fellow, fearing he should be killed, stopped, and went to fiddling again. The animal was pacified, as before.
He had a way of fiddling with his pencil continually while he talked, scribbling vague lines and fragments of words and names on stray bits of paper, and no sooner had Annixter sat down than he had begun to write, in full-bellied script, ANN ANN all over his blotting pad. "I want to see about those lands of mine I mean of yours of the railroad's," Annixter commenced at once.
After dinner left them and to White Hall, where a small Tangier Committee, and so back again home, and there my wife and Mercer and Tom and I sat till eleven at night, singing and fiddling, and a great joy it is to see me master of so much pleasure in my house, that it is and will be still, I hope, a constant pleasure to me to be at home.
Johnny Two-Hawks, fiddling in front of the Metropolitan Opera House, to fill a poor blind man's cup! "Yes, Johnny. Now, yesterdays never were. For us there is nothing but to-morrows. Out there, in the great country where souls as well as bodies may stretch themselves we'll start all over again. You will be the cowman and I'll be the kitchen wench.
Pere walked ahead, he could not be accused of marching, fiddling away for dear life. The pretty young godmother carried the baby, in its wonderful christening finery, walking between the grandmother and the father, and the guests, all in their gayest clothes, followed on as they liked behind, all stepping out a little on account of the fiddle ahead.
Why had she not realised, before it was too late, how set Jacques was in his ways, and how he never would give in to the heathen notions and fiddling ways of the foreign child? Sadly the good woman bade farewell to the bridal couple, and left them alone in their new home.
I said, I admit tactlessly; and she skimmed away over that to things that sounded wise but weren't really, about violins and the technique of fiddling. Not that I haven't already felt it, the cleavage here in the classes; but this was my first experience of the real thing, the real Junker lady the Koseritzes are Prussians.
