"'I see in St. Louis once what they call a orchestrion , says Uncle Cal, 'that I judged was about the finest thing in the way of music ever invented. But there ain't room in this house for one. Anyway, I imagine they'd cost a thousand dollars. I reckon something in the piano line would suit Marilla the best.
I never purchased more radiant good-will for less money, but the combined effect of the well-boiled tea and the boiling orchestrion produced many village nightmares, so the mothers told me at chapel next morning. I have many friends in Barbury Green, and often have a pleasant chat with the draper, and the watchmaker, and the chemist.
Before the orchestrion that accompanied the merry-go-round had accomplished the first strain of Strauss's waltz I should have been feebly calling for the steward. I observed that those silly youngsters with nautical proclivities who did scramble into the swaying ship, got out with livid lips, and did not ask to go in again.

H'm!" said Sam. "You still haven't made it quite clear," said Billie. "I was thinking." "Oh, if you want to think!" "Tell me the facts," said Sam. "Well, Mr.
