However, that is no business of mine. Hipkins remarked: "I fancy this dinner resembled the dinner which will go down to posterity as given by the Hungarians of London to Liszt in , which was really a private dinner given by Mrs. Bretherton to fifteen people, of whom her children and mine were four.
The pattern in a wall paper, a mark in a brick wall, a studio background, or a couple of drawing pins pressed into a door, so long as two feet exactly are indicated, will answer equally well. Whatever plan is adopted, if the distance be measured exactly between lens and rule, the result will give the focus with exactitude sufficient for any practical purpose. Br. Jour. of Photo. By A. J. HIPKINS.
Gorman says I had my hand on the weapon as she was falling." "We can easily shake her in that." "And Hipkins says that I admitted the crime called myself a murderer." "We can shake that too. You said, 'Am I a murderer? It was an odd thing to say, but your nerves were unstrung. Men in such predicaments have been known to say a great deal more than that."
Then they parted, and Alan went to Surrey Street and cleared out his goods and chattels, very much to the relief of Mrs. Gorman, who assured Mr. Hipkins that she could not have slept comfortably at night with that outrageous man under the same roof. He found in his desk the message which he had written to Lettice on the day of his crowning misfortune.
"Mendelssohn said on one occasion in his naive manner: 'In Chopin's music one really does not know sometimes whether a thing is right or wrong." CHOPIN arrived in London, according to Mr. A. J. Hipkins, on April 21, 1848. Hipkins has already been adverted to in the Preface.
The problematical Andante precede d'un Largo was, no doubt, a juxtaposition of two of his shorter compositions, this title being chosen to vary the programme. From Mr. Hipkins I learned that at this Chopin played frequently the slow movement from his Op. 22, Grande Polonaise preceded d'un Andante Spianato. And now we will let Chopin again speak for himself.
Hipkins told me that he "had to struggle for years to gain adherents to Chopin's music, while enduring the good- humoured banter of Sterndale Bennett and J. W. Davison." I shall not discuss the probability of these suggestions, but will say a few words with regard to the last- mentioned matter. My source of information is a Paris letter in the Musical World of December 4, 1847.
This is another trait of the man, which, allied with his fastidiousness and spiritual brusquerie, made him difficult to decipher. The loss of Sand completed his misery and we find him in poor health when he arrived in London, for the second and last time, April 21, 1848. Mr. A. J. Hipkins is the chief authority on the details of Chopin's visit to England.
