Lafont not looking at it in this light, I was obliged to accept the challenge. I allowed him to arrange the programme. We each played a concerto of our own composition, after which we played together a duo concertante by Kreutzer.
"I only know that he loves his money better than anything in the world, and that he never gives a kreutzer to any one, and that he won't subscribe to the hospital, and he always thinks that Tetchen takes his wine, though Tetchen never touches a drop." "When he has a wife she will look after these things." "I will never look after them," said Linda.
"Ah, that she did not say." Mrs. Vanderlyn paused now, with a fine sense of the dramatic. "But immediately I looked again for that box and ring and they were gone!" Kreutzer, pale, his forehead damp from perspiration of pure agony, as truly sweat of pain as any ever beaded on the brow of an excruciated prisoner upon the rack, looked at her with pleading eyes. "Gone! Madame, you do not think "
Once, when about to play in public Beethoven's magnificent Kreutzer Sonata, with Remenyi, who was the first to recognize his genius, he discovered that the piano was half a tone below concert pitch, and rather than spoil the effect by having the violin tuned down, the boy of nineteen unhesitatingly transposed the piano part which he was playing from memory into a higher key.
He drew the tiny creature to him and softly pressed a kiss upon her perfectly clean forehead. "You vould not want to leave her, M'riar?" "Hi'd die, Hi would," sobbed M'riar. Herr Kreutzer held her head back and smiled into her eyes with a good smile which made her very happy. "Ach, liebling, do not worry." "W'y wouldn't yer go with the toff and pl'y in ther big horchestra?" she made bold to ask.
Kreutzer was near to absolute exhaustion, and shouldered their heavy trunk, lifted their heaviest bag, with difficulty. His knees, it seemed to him, must certainly give way beneath him. Seeing this gave M'riar something other than her fears to think of. "Gimme th' bag, now, guvnor," she said quietly, although both she and Anna already were well burdened. "Nein," said the old man, gravely.
She turned her eyes from the old flute-player's to those of the young man, and smiled at him. "Anna!" he exclaimed, and started towards her from his mother's side. "Stop!" said Kreutzer and held up his hand. Then, turning again to Anna: "You would not even give him up for me?" "You would not ask that of me, father," she said confidently, "for it is my happiness."
She knew that he had many times refused alluring offers of the sort in London, always without an explanation of his reasons for so doing. In the little rooms which they had found for temporary lodging place, Herr Kreutzer sat that evening, with a well-cleaned M'riar standing by and trying to devise some way of adding to his comfort.
Kreutzer smiled not with an air of triumph the discomfiture of the unhappy woman did not make him feel the least exultant. It was pure happiness that made him smile joy to think that Anna's wedding would not, after all, be shadowed by her husband's sorrow for the loss of mother-love. "Then Madame will yield?" he cried. "Madame will make the dear young people happy?" "Upon one condition.
"Happy in the thought that he had remembered me, I went out for my drive, leaving the box there on his table, just where I had found it. When I reached the house again I found a note left for me by your daughter, saying that she had decided upon going from my house forever, that someday she hoped I would forgive her " "What had she done?" said Kreutzer, in a dry voice, full of misery.
