He grew to love the members of his little home circle; though three of the quartet ever averred that, in reality, he only loved one wholly and altogether, and clung to him in a way that others noticed folk on the land always referring to them, the country over, as "Him and his dog." Were they not always together? The shepherds on the downs recognised them at great distances, for shepherds see far.
In half an hour Bowers, who was expecting them, completed the quartet. It was an unusual group that gathered that night in the dining room. Ardswell and Weatherby had spent a week in Philadelphia before Wimperley telegraphed Clark to come down. The story was plain enough. The two Englishmen had come from London to hear it, and it was told well.
Playful discussions sometimes serious ones were going forward, in which both Stephen and Maggie revealed themselves, to the admiration of the gentle, unobtrusive Lucy; and it more than once crossed her mind what a charming quartet they should have through life when Maggie married Philip.
Carstairs won't bring Mary to see him, and she won't let him come to see Mary. Well, what remains?" Peter said nothing. In a room overhead a manifestly improvised quartet struck up "Should Auld Acquaintance be Forgot?" with great enthusiasm. "You see there is only one thing. The old gentleman," said Varney, "has brooded over the matter till it's broken him all up.
And while the ensemble spirit must be preserved, the freedom of the individual should not be too much restrained. Once the style and manner of a modern composer are familiar, it is easier to present his works: when we first played the Reger quartet here some twenty years ago, we found pages which at first we could not at all understand.
Maybe I am not so sure of it the cats did not go quite so wild as some four years before. One day a memorable one I went to a quartet party. The new leader of our philharmonic was there, a very fine violinist, and he played for us a concerto of Spohr's. I knew it, and was delighted with his reading of it.
She saw the ring put on Grace's finger, she heard the Curé's French accented voice, "Henry Danton, wilt thou have Grace Danton to be thy wedded wife?" and that firm, clear "I will," in reply. Then it was all over; they were married. Her pale face drooped on the front rail of the pew, and wet it with a rain of hot tears. The wedding quartet were going into the sacristy to register their names.
What did you think of the quartet? 'Capital! 'I'm sure they would make wonderful progress, and Alma does work so hard! I'm only afraid she may injure her health. 'I see no sign of it yet. 'She's certainly looking very well, said Mrs. Frothingham, with manifest pride and affection. Of Alma she always spoke thus; nothing of the step-mother was ever observable. 'Mr.
I got as far as Washington, D. C., and saw the Inauguration of President McKinley, and then I returned home. The following June Dr. Washington wrote me to come to Tuskegee so as to accompany the Tuskegee Quartet North that summer. It must not be understood that I was one of the singers; that was not my good fortune.
And half an hour later the thought that it was time to go to sleep would awaken me; I would try to put away the book which, I imagined, was still in my hands, and to blow out the light; I had been thinking all the time, while I was asleep, of what I had just been reading, but my thoughts had run into a channel of their own, until I myself seemed actually to have become the subject of my book: a church, a quartet, the rivalry between Francois I and Charles V. This impression would persist for some moments after I was awake; it did not disturb my mind, but it lay like scales upon my eyes and prevented them from registering the fact that the candle was no longer burning.
