"Lay me a pat-lid richt here, man. Soop her up soop, soop, man. Get her by the gaird. Let her be. I'm wrang, bring her ben the hoose. Stop stop, I'm tellin' ye. Noo, soop, soop her in, man." "Noo, minister, be up this time," cries Geordie. "Soop, soop her up. That's a graun' yin, minister.
Then, wrapping herself up in haste in the mantle, she ran to the porter's lodge, opened it, drew the bolt, went out into the street, and jumped into a carriage, which, since her residence at Jacques Ferrand's, was sent every night by order of Baron de Graun, stationed not twenty steps from the notary's mansion. This carriage was quickly driven off, drawn by two stout horses.
The unlearned marquis looked in blessed ignorance upon his royal friend, and the beautiful music brought tears to his eyes. When the piece was ended, the king said to Quantz: "Do you find this text false?" "Yes, your majesty, it is false!" "And you two also believe it false?" "Yes, your majesty, it is false!" said Graun and Fasch. "But, if the composer will have it so?"
"I have often heard that a tailor was called a goat, but his children are nevertheless not nightingales, and poor Pricker can sooner force a camel through the eye of his needle than make a songstress of his daughter. The Germans cannot sing, and it is an incomprehensible mistake of Graun to bring such a singer before us."
To-morrow you will have a singing-master, who is no poor wretch, but a celebrated and influential musician, who has undertaken to instruct you out of pure kindness for me, for he is not a teacher but a composer. Graun himself will be your instructor, and it rests with you to crown our love with the happiest results."

"Weel, ae mornin', we was sittin', haein' oor crack aboot the auld days, an' the schule, an' the sheep we herded thegither on the Ettrick hills.
She has arrived like an escaped convict: when they know what crimes caused her perpetual imprisonment, they would give her up at once." "Besides, De Graun was almost alarmed at the sagacity with which Cecily comprehended, or rather, guessed the part, inflaming and yet platonic, she was to play at the notary's. "But can she be introduced to him as early as you wish, through Mrs. Pipelet?
It is true that there is no mention of any parcel of music in these letters, beyond Telemann's "System of Intervals," but they suggest that they were part of a longer correspondence. Telemann was keenly interested in contemporary music, as his correspondence with Graun shows; he also seems to have asked Graun to send him plants from Berlin.
Having arrived the evening previous, this creature, as handsome as she was perverted, as enchanting as she was dangerous, had received detailed instructions from Baron de Graun. It will be remembered that after the last interview between Rudolph and Mrs. Pipelet, the latter having adroitly proposed Cecily to Mrs. Rudolph went to learn the result of Cecily's offer.
Nardini, Bini, Manfredi, Ferrari, Graun, and Lahoussaye are among the most eminent, and were attached to him by bonds of most intimate friendship to his life's end. Tartini's contemporaries all agree in crediting him with those qualities which make a great player.
