I never saw a woman to whom you would more readily give credit for perfect chastity. "Lady Clio. 'What am I reading? 'have I drawn nothing lately? is the work-bag finished? how accomplished I am! has the man been to untune the harpsichord? does it look as if I had been playing on it?
So I burn little rolls of paper, and sketch Turks' heads upon visiting cards with the blackened end I assure you I succeeded in making a superb Hyder-Ally last night and I jingle on my unfortunate harpsichord, and begin at the end of a grave book and read it backward. After all, I begin to be very much vexed about Brown's silence.
I have many a fatigue to encounter before that happy times comes, when your poor old simple friend may again give a loose to the luxuriance of his nature; sitting by Kilmore fireside, recount the various adventures of a hard-fought life; laugh over the follies of the day; join his flute to your harpsichord; and forget that ever he starved in those streets where Butler and Otway starved before him.
A simple, tuneful air, always based on the common chords of the key, with its bass so clearly indicated that it is easily felt and accompanied, for to train his voice and ear he should always sing with the harpsichord. We articulate the notes we sing the better to distinguish them; hence the custom of sol-faing with certain syllables.
She felt that D'Harmental was sad, and when she sat down to her harpsichord, was it not from a secret feeling that music is the consoler of troubled hearts?

He learned to dance, and was "like to make a dancer." He learned to play the lute, the flute, the flageolet, and the theorbo, and it was not the fault of his intention if he did not learn the harpsichord or the spinet.
For a moment I could not see; then my sight came back, and I saw Lucy standing before me, alone, deathly pale, and, I could have fancied, almost, shrunk in size. "IT has been near me?" she said, as if asking a question. The sound seemed taken out of her voice; it was husky as the notes on an old harpsichord when the strings have ceased to vibrate.
When the squire had finished his half-hour's nap, he summoned his daughter to her harpsichord; but she begged to be excused that evening, on account of a violent head-ache. This remission was presently granted; for indeed she seldom had occasion to ask him twice, as he loved her with such ardent affection, that, by gratifying her, he commonly conveyed the highest gratification to himself.
The men know nothing of us in the world while we are single, but how we can dance a minuet, or play a lesson upon the harpsichord." "And what else," said Mr Delvile, who advanced, and heard this last speech, "need a young lady of rank desire to be known for? your ladyship surely would not have her degrade herself by studying like an artist or professor?"
