I give a chance to some one else who is not a patriot. He has done mischief with the inflammable little Anna von Lenkenstein I know it. Your proper lovers, you women, are the broad, the business lovers, and Weisspriess is your man. Antonio-Pericles glanced up at the maestro's windows. 'Hark! it is her voice, he said, and drew up his clenched fists with rage, as if pumping. 'Cold as ice!
"I should think so," said Ken secretly, perhaps, a shade envious of the Maestro's ability. As he locked up Applegate Farm that night, he stopped for a moment at the door to look at the misty stars and listen to the wind in the orchard. "'A defender of his kindred," he murmured. "H'm!" Hardly anything is more annoying than a mysterious elder brother.
Diana felt as if she were in the middle of a beautiful dream from which she might at any moment waken to the disappointing reality of things. Hardly able to believe the evidence of her senses, she found herself once again in the narrow hall, shepherded by the maestro's portly form.
Diana wondered how many other aspirants to fame had lingered like herself upon that doorstep, their hearts beating high with hope, only to descend the white-washed steps a brief hour later with the knowledge that from the standpoint of the musical profession their voices were useless for all practical purposes, and with their pockets lighter by two guineas, the maestro's fee for an opinion.
"My child!" he began. "My child! . . . So, then! You know all that there is to know." Diana looked up wearily. "Yes," she replied. "I know it all." The old maestro's eyes softened as they rested upon her, and when he spoke again, his queer husky voice was toned to a note of extraordinary sweetness. "My dear pupil, if it had been possible, I would haf spared you this knowledge.
The lighted windows of the maestro's house, and the piano striking corrective notes, assured him that the special rehearsal was still going on; and as he might now calculate on two or three minutes to spare, he threw back his coat-collar, lifted his head, and distended his chest, apparently to chime in with the singing, but simply to listen to it.
And your little mother, the lady most excellent, is down in Baveno, and she is always near you when you make an expedition. Signorina, I know you would not pay your Beppo for spying upon me. Why does he do it? I do not sing 'Italia, Italia shall be free! I have heard you when I was under the maestro's windows; and once you sang it to the Signor Agostino Balderini.
Yet Gluck, however conscious of the ideal unity between music and poetry, never thought of bringing this about by a sacrifice of any of the forms of his own peculiar art. His influence, however, was very great, and the traditions of the great maestro's art have been kept alive in the works of his no less great disciples, Méhul, Cherubini, Spontini, and Meyerbeer.
Simultaneously with the cessation of her song Ammiani reached the door, but had scarcely taken his stand there when, catching sight of Luigi, he crossed the street, and recognizing him, questioned him sternly as to his business opposite the maestro's house. Luigi pointed to a female figure emerging. 'See! take her home, he said.
Luigi's chest expanded largely with a melancholy draught of air. The carriage meantime had become visible at the head of the street, where it remained within hearing of a whistle. One of the Milanese hired vehicles drove up to the maestro's door shortly after, and Luigi cursed it.
