For several days, his cart had been backed against the curb of the campus and the sound of his bell was like the music of the hand-organ to the girls. It was a bluebird and a robin the harbingers of spring to them. May came and was quickly passing. The girls were talking caps and gowns and diplomas.
"Fine!" answered Mappo. "I can do many tricks now. What are you learning?" "Oh, many things," answered Tum Tum. "I have to play ball, grind a hand-organ with my trunk and make music, I have to play soldier, march around, and stand up on my hind legs and on my head." "Is it hard work?" asked Mappo. "Yes, but I like it," said Tum Tum.
“Oh, don’t, please!” begged the little chicken girl. “Leave my feathers alone.” “No, I shan’t!” answered the monkey. “I want the feathers to make a feather duster, to dust off my master’s hand-organ,” and with that he yanked out another handful. “Oh, will no one help me?” cried poor Arabella, trying to get away. “I’ll lose all my feathers!” “We must help her,” said Bawly to Bully.
It is not fine music, that of the hand-organ and the street bands; it is indeed too oft a cracked and spavined pleasure. Doubtless it is justly classified as one of the street noises, and street noises are probably nuisances to be abated.
From a passing hand-organ a few strains of the Marseillaise were heard; the laborer started the song, and everybody joined in, roaring the chorus. The exalted nature of the song and its wild rhythm fired the driver, who lashed his horses to a gallop. Monsieur Patissot was bawling at the top of his lungs, and the passengers inside, frightened, were wondering what hurricane had struck them.
He had wandered about the country with a monkey and a hand-organ in search of a peddler he suspected of a crime. He had helped along a revolution in South America, and had gone up in a captive war balloon which had broken loose and floated off. But all this is of no concern at present.
And you know you can't get very far in this world without money." "Still," said Barbara, "a hand-organ and a tin cup?" "A loiterer in the streets of New York," the beggar explained, "picks up knowledge not to be had in any other way. Knowledge is power." "Then you don't have to beg, don't have to pose, don't have to do anything you don't want to do?" "Oh, yes, I do.
An old negro, carrying a basket of clothes, passed her in the middle of the block, and she thought: "That might have been in Richmond that and the hand-organ and the perfume of hyacinths."
The man could teach the maid only what he himself knew; a strange tutor or governess was not allowed to enter the castle. Because her instructor could not play the piano, the little maid had not learned. But in order that she might enjoy listening to music, a hand-organ had been bought for her, and new melodies were inserted in it every four months.
He was clad in his suit of faded blue, with his sergeant's chevrons and all. He was grinding away at his old hand-organ as the last means left him for support. Every day he may be seen along the principal streets of the city, patiently and sadly earning his pittance in this way a mode so very repugnant to one's manhood. This is the end and reward of his services and sufferings.
