He knew that he was telling them about his adventures, as if they were scenes in a comedy, and that he said a little about the turn of good luck that had come to him just in time. He knew that Carola was talking of her music-lessons, and of her dear master and of his sudden promise that she should have a concert in the early winter.
You sent Annie and me to London to take these costly music-lessons; Annie, I wish we had made more of them. You arranged that we should go on that foreign tour with the Ludlows." "We did our best for you your father and I. I think I may say that," admitted Mrs. Millar simply. Dora went on eagerly with her generous catalogue.
But she did not feel lonely, for the best of reasons that she never fancied herself alone, but knew that she was not. Also she had books at her command, being one of the few who can read; and there were picture-galleries to go to, and music-lessons to be had.
I think I could teach a little music, to young children, you know; you'd teach the older ones. Emily looked at Julia inquiringly, and going over to the piano, attempted to play her favourite polka. Julia, who had once worked for her daily bread, and earned it in a sort of way by giving music-lessons, smiled sadly at the girl's ignorance of life.
On receiving Soames' card, Jolyon said to the maid for he could not abide butlers "Show him into the study, please, and say I'll be there in a minute"; and then he looked at Holly and asked: "Do you remember 'the lady in grey, who used to give you music-lessons?" "Oh yes, why? Has she come?"

But if you prefer to remain here with me, we can keep house well enough. I can help you with the heavy work out of my work-hours, and will arrange to have some one with you at night when I have to be away. Besides, I intend to get a piano, and you may have lessons on that while the girls are away. What do you say?" "I will stay with you. And I shall enjoy the music-lessons.
His parents were neither of them trained musicians, though both appreciated and loved music, and it was from his mother that young Felix received his first music-lessons. When he had made some advance, Ludwig Berger became his tutor for the piano, and Zelter, a very learned and severe theorist, for counterpoint.
In the evening she will go to a concert or a lecture, and then, at the end of all, she will very possibly sit up after midnight with her sewing-machine, doing extra shop-work to pay for little Ella's music-lessons. All this every "capable" New-England woman will do, or die.
