"Interdooce me," says the drummer in a kind of a way that made them all laugh a heap. "Give us a tune," I begs, tryin' to be jolly, too. "She don't know any pieces," says the Jew. "Don't you?" I asks pretty sharp. "No," says she. "Well, I do," says I. I walked up to her, jerked out my guns, and reached around both sides of her to the pianner.
"Perhaps," he replied harshly, the old anger growing bitter in him at the mention of the "pianner" "perhaps it would be better if you gave up the idea of the piano; that costs too much," he added significantly, "far too much. If you'd read good books and try to live in the thought of the time, it would be better.
Sneath comes home with his wife. "When Mis' Sneath she sees the pianner brung inter her house she don't notice any difference fer a while; but one day she sets down ter play, an' she pounds out a few music, an' then she gives a jump an' looks all over the machine an' she says, 'Good Lord! An' Sneath he comes in, an' they has a great time over how the' 's be'n sech a change in that pianner.
His manner was most courteous, he smiled kindly, but he did not invite attention to the bag. "No yeh can't," snapped the woman, "an' a good reason why coz we ain't got a pianner to toon." "A pity," said Nickie, suavely, "a pity, madam. No home should be without the refining influence of good music."
The invalid chuckled, until her old head in its white mob-cap nodded against the white pillow propping it. 'I married three men mysel' in my time, as you d' know; an' if either wan had been rich enough to leave me a pianner, I'd ha' married three more. . . . What tickles me is you men with your talk o' spoort.
For this side attack on me roused the boatswain to reproduce his jokes about elbow-grease versus parley-voo and the pianner, and to add a general principle on his own account to the effect that it was nothing to him if a lad had been "edicated" in a young ladies' boarding-school, so long as he'd been taught to rub brass till you could "see something more of your face than thumbmarks in it."
Must be a good performer on the piano, and able to instruct in French and the usual English branches. Terms must be moderate. Apply to Mrs. Leighton, at 127 W. Street." "There, Florence, what do you say to that? That's better than sewin'." "I don't know, Dodger, whether I am competent." "You play on the pianner, don't you?" "Yes." "Well enough to teach?"
They owned their own 'ouse got it out of the Building Society, and cheap because the chap who had it before was a burglar and in prison and they 'ad a bit of free'old land, and some cottages and money 'nvested all nice and tight: they was what you'd call snug and warm. I tell you, I was On. Furniture too. Why! They 'ad a pianner.
Wal, she quiets down some after that, but she makes Jud as mis'able as a treed coon fer over a week. She keeps a-tryin' an' a-tryin' to git him to send the pianner down anyway. She tells him she'll send it back afore the Sneaths gits home. "'He told me I could have it; he promised me, says she, 'he promised me, an' I'll never marry you unless you send it down.
Yasha lifted two fingers of his right hand on a level with the solicitor's face, the forefinger and the middle finger and moved them about. "D' you see? With these two fingers I run over the whole pianner. Nothin' wonderful in it: one, two, three ready. Any man who wasn't stupid could learn easily. That's all it is. Most ordinary business. I thank you."
