Then I kind of sauntered out to the back room where the hurdy-gurdy ought to be. Sure enough, there was a girl settin' on the pianner stool, another in a chair, and a nice shiny Jew drummer danglin' his feet from a table. They looked up when they see me come in, and went right on talkin'. "Hello, girls!" says I. At that they stopped talkin' complete. "How's tricks?" says I.
"Well, then, here's a feller answers by the name Mozart Rabiner," Morris continued. "Did y'ever hear of him, Abe?" "If you mean Moe Rabiner, Mawruss," Abe replied. "I never knew his name was Mozart before, Mawruss, but there was a feller by the name Moe Rabiner what used to work for Sammet Brothers, Mawruss, and that feller could make the pianner fairly talk, Mawruss.
"Even to make your fortunes which is my constant joy and endeavour, as you know I mustn't expose it too much to the night air. Now I've a pianner here, but it's not for sale. And I've an assistant here a bit worn, but he's not for sale neither. So as 'tis Midsummer's Eve, and I see some very nice-lookin' young women a tip-tapping their feet for it, and Mr.
Gigg don't care what he gets, so long as he can bang away on the pianner an' make Miss Cicely sing, an' I will own she do sing lovely like the angels in a 'evenly 'ost, but there!
I do believe I could lift that there pianner, if somebody would just give it a hoist, and let me get hold of it easy." Yes, Joe was strong and well, and I am sure, happy, and I had never had a single misgiving about him since he stood with his fading flowers and shabby clothes at my window that summer day. At last we were settled in town, and the winter season beginning.
Nor was it otherwise with her singing: she had a fair contralto, but her ear was at fault; and he sometimes found himself swallowing nervously when she attacked high notes. "Oh, doctor! your wife DO play the pianner lovely," said Mrs. Devine, and her fat front rose and fell in an ecstatic sigh. "Richard dear, will you come?"
What for a present is a fiddle, Abe, when for half the money we could give him a pianner yet?" Abe hung his head in embarrassment. "But Mawruss," he said, "it was a genu-ine Amati." For one brief moment Morris choked with rage. "Genu-ine hell!" he roared, and plunged away to the office.
"I'm going to beg your father's pardon, and take back all I said to him." "Oh! then you do care for me, George," cried the girl enthusiastically, "an' we ken be happy again. I've been real miserable since last night; I cried myself to sleep, so I did. Now I know you love me I'll do anythin' you wish, anythin'. I'll learn to play the pianner; you see if I don't."
Weller, looking cautiously round; 'my duty to your gov'nor, and tell him if he thinks better o' this here bis'ness, to com-moonicate vith me. Me and a cab'net-maker has dewised a plan for gettin' him out. A pianner, Samivel a pianner! said Mr. Weller, striking his son on the chest with the back of his hand, and falling back a step or two. 'Wot do you mean? said Sam.
"Wai, sis, you'll be able to call chickens, I guess, because that's all on one note, but 'twouldn't be worth while for you to try to sing, or torment a pianner. There are plenty of girls tormentin' pianners now. I guess you'd better go home, too; it may come on to snow." Nellie departed angrily and slammed the door. Bear-Tone looked after her.
