Brownlow made her a visit as soon as she was settled, and were so much edified by the absence of display and extravagance, that they did not scruple to trust their daughter to her for the long-desired music-lessons. Caroline had indeed made no attempt to win her way into the great world; but she had brought together as much as possible of the old society of her former home.
Why, when he does a good thing he's nothing but a boy, he's so glad about it. I always know how his work has gone when I see his face." "But, Ollie, he's so shabby, and his daughter gives music-lessons. Nobody THINKS of inviting her anywhere." Sue's eyes were shut tight, with an expression of assumed contempt, and her little nose was straight up. "Yes but that doesn't hurt his pictures, Sue."
Suddenly, he found he was repeating the same flaws each time; he was not attending. The fingering of that thing was ghastly! Music-lessons! Why did she take them? Waste of time and money she would never be anything but an amateur! Ugh! Unconsciously, he had stopped playing. Had she gone there to-day? It was past lunch-time. Perhaps she had come in.
On the little calendar, a pencil-cross was set against to-day Wednesday, another against Friday. What for? Music-lessons! He reached to a pigeon-hole, and took out her address-book. "H Harmost, 305A, Marylebone Road," and against it the words in pencil, "3 P.M." Three o'clock. So that was her hour!

"It must have cost fifty dollars! And for what good, señora?" "Lola's taking music-lessons," said Jane. "Her and Edith May Jonas is learning a duet. I want she should be able to go right on practising."
Rosek smiled. "My dear, that is all very well, but friendships are not finished like that. Moreover, you owe me a thousand pounds." "Well, I will pay it." Rosek's eyebrows mounted. "I will. Gyp will lend it to me." "Oh! Is Gyp so fond of you as that? I thought she only loved her music-lessons." Crouching forward with his knees drawn up, Fiorsen hissed out: "Don't talk of Gyp! Get out of this!
Their instinct might be trusted: so, no more classical concerts and music-lessons; no more getting Lycidas by heart; no more Bædeker; no more cricking one's neck in the Sistine Chapel: unless the coloured gentleman who leads the band at the Savoy has a natural leaning towards these things you may depend upon it they are noble, pompous, and fraudulent.
Why, the rich ones actually patronise him, and think he is fortunate in giving their children music-lessons." Delia began to look so wrathful as she went on, that Anna longed to change the subject to one which might be more soothing. She could not at all understand why her companion was so angry.
He might give up teaching music, and confine himself to the studies which as an architect he ought to pursue; and to be known among the A landers as a young gentleman who had money to invest would secure to him that social position which the music-lessons he gave did no doubt in some quarters embarrass.
