Nothing that this world can give in the opening twentieth century ... not even a very good pianola or a motor. Shall not General Sir Petworth Armstrong die in the great débacle of the world-wide War? I shall see, later.
Not even music was lacking to their feast. Someone was playing a pianola across the street, and the sound, very faint, came stealing when they were silent swelling, sinking, festive, mournful; having a far-off life of its own, like the flickering fire-flames before which they lay embraced, or the lilies delicate between the candles.
I know what you'll do; you'll go home to play Grieg on the pianola, and you won't eat any dinner." He looked guilty. "Not Grieg," he protested feebly. "Beethoven." "You're not going to do either," I said with firmness. "You are going right home to unpack those new draperies that Harry Bayles sent you from Shanghai, and you are going to order dinner for eight that will be two tables of bridge.

He set to work and did it as soon as he got here, just as a good cat when you bring it into the house sets to work and catches mice. Previously the pianola music was chaos. You took what God sent you.
"You see I've always been hungry for music, and while my kid brother was still in college I began to be able to afford things, and one of the first luxuries was a pianola.
And the pianola a piano which you could play without even knowing your notes What a clever invention! America seemed full of the most wonderfully clever things. Tembarom was actually uplifted in soul when he discovered that she laid transparent little plans for leading him into talk about New York.
