It was the "Heynal," the watchman's horn-song from the towers of Panna Marya. Once given, a magician caught it, played with it, pursued it, juggled with it, through a series of variations till, finally, a grave and beautiful modulation led back to the noble dirge of the beginning. "I know who wrote that! who must have written it!" said Otto, looking up. He named a French name.
And as a last contribution, a young French pianist, rising rapidly into fame both as a virtuoso and a composer, was writing specially a series of variations on the lovely theme of the "Heynal" that traditional horn-song, played every hour in the ears of Cracow, from the tower of Panna Marya of which Otto had spoken to Falloden. But all these things were as yet hidden from Otto.
He plays an old air ever so old we call it the 'Heynal, on the top of one of the towers. The only time I was ever in Cracow I heard a man at a concert a magnificent player improvise on it. And it comes into one of Chopin's sonatas." He began to hum under his breath a sweet wandering melody. And suddenly he sprang up, and ran to the piano.
