"But we've just settled that artists have no nationality, so I suppose art hasn't either," he said. Sylvia pulled herself together, conscious of a want of control, and laid her hand on Michael's shoulder. "Oh, Michael, what should I do without you?" she said. "And yet well, let me sing." She had placed a volume of Schubert on the music-stand, and opening it at random he found "Du Bist die Ruhe."
Peer sat on the sofa, leaning forward with his head in his hands, listening. And there she stood, at the music-stand, in her red dress, flushed and warm, and shining in the yellow lamplight, playing. Then suddenly the thought of her mother came to her, and she went to the telephone. "Mother are you there, mother? Oh, we've had such a glorious day."
There was no restraint on the disposal of THEIR evening, and I felt the restraint on the disposal of mine all the more painfully from observing it. I saw Miss Fairlie lingering near the music-stand. The time had been when I might have joined her there. I waited irresolutely I knew neither where to go nor what to do next.
Rising from his seat, and pushing aside the screen which concealed the band from view, he took the bâton from the hand of the bandmaster, and after exclaiming: "Very quietly and slowly, gentlemen, if you please," he tapped twice on the music-stand in front of him, and then commenced to conduct with as much skill and art as if he had never done anything else in his life.
He first of all imagined in detail an angelic host, and finally a whole theology was wrought out in petto. He used a gilt ornamented music-stand as a kind of altar with fumigating pastils for incense, where each morning God was approached by offerings until one day a conflagration put a sudden end to these celebrations.
"And then," continued Brumpton, "Wilkins began to blink over his music-stand, looking as red in the face as his uniform. `Who was that? he says `who was it that dared to make that noise?" "And then no one spoke," sneered Jerry. "Hissed! I'd ha' punched his head. Bandmaster, indeed! I'd ha' been the bandmaster's master that time!" "Wrong, Jerry Brigley!" cried Brumpton.
Then he reeled, stumbled, clutching at the music-stand for support; and fell face forward upon the floor. Some six weeks later loving friends had gently nursed him back to life and reason. It was slow work, but Von Barwig weathered the point of death and sailed slowly into the harbour of life. As he grew stronger, he realised by degrees all that had happened.
The richest fruit and flowers found their way unexpectedly into her room; her table was littered with the latest books from Mudie's, and the newest pieces lay upon her music-stand. Nothing which attention and thoughtfulness could do was left undone either by the father or the son.
When they came in, the precious violin which Rose never trusted to any other hands but her own without trepidation had just arrived, and its owner, more erect than usual, because more nervous, was trying to prop up a dilapidated music-stand which Mrs. Darcy had unearthed for her. As Langham came in, she looked up and beckoned to him.
Forgive me, child; I know well enough that there'll be no lovemaking with you till the right man comes, and I hope he never will come, Anastasia I hope he never will." She did not accept or refuse his excuses, but tuned a string that had gone down. "Good heavens!" he said, as she walked to the music-stand to play; "can't you hear the A's as flat as a pancake?"
