"You seem to have a perfect passion for hearing music-lessons. I wish I could trade jobs with you!" "I'm not interested in singers." His tone was offended. "I am interested in talent. There are only two interesting things in the world, anyhow; and talent is one of them." "What's the other?" The question came meekly from the figure opposite him. Another arc-light flashed in at the window.
He would take his music-lessons, follow his clandestine studies, in that favorable dress: thus Buffon, we hear, was wont to shave, and put on clean linen, before he sat down to write, finding it more comfortable so.
But then Grandpa Dinsmore might put his veto upon that, saying, as he had that day in regard to the room, that it was quite as good as she deserved; and she would not give him the chance: she would put up with the hard bed, as well as with all the other disagreeables of the situation, nor give up in the very least about the music-lessons.
As she made the kindly intended, vague remarks customarily served out to unknown children, she was thinking: "How can any woman with a vestige of a woman's instinct dress that lovely child in ready-made, commonplace, dark-colored clothes? She would repay any amount of care and "thought." So you take music-lessons too, besides your school?" she asked mechanically.
When it was over she went away, so that no one should see her emotion, and also because she could not bear to see people making fun of Christophe. A few days later, at dinner, Madame Stevens in her presence spoke of her having music-lessons from Christophe. Grazia was so upset that she let her spoon drop into her soup-plate, and splashed herself and her neighbor.
They are also easily coerced into devoting Wednesday and Saturday afternoons to the added atrocity of music-lessons, and in general, but for the recent blessed innovation of skating, would undoubtedly submit to having every atom of air and exercise eliminated from their lives.
He did not give up Colette's music-lessons: but he refused to take the opportunities she gave him of continuing their intimate conversations.
I have heard him take a text out of the Imitation and lecture Rose when she was quite a baby for pestering any stray person she could get hold of to give her music-lessons. "Woe to them" yes, that was it "that inquire many curious things of men, and care little about the way of serving me." However, he wasn't consistent. Nobody is.
And so HE goes up the postern stair. John Jasper passes a more agreeable and cheerful day than either of his guests. Having no music-lessons to give in the holiday season, his time is his own, but for the Cathedral services. He is early among the shopkeepers, ordering little table luxuries that his nephew likes.
You were surprised, I saw, about my music-lessons: It is a little singular, I admit my beginning as a teacher and ending as a pupil. You know, of course, that I was a school-teacher? Yes, I had a little class down on Wabash Avenue near Hubbard Court, in a church basement. I began to be useful as early as I could.
