What a treat would have been a résumé of the conversation of that gifted quintette of women! Mrs. Stanton was ill and could not attend the reception, which was a great disappointment to Miss Anthony. They had shared so much trouble that she felt most anxious they should share this one great pleasure. In the diary at midnight is recorded: "Fiftieth birthday!
Or else I have had the most vivid dream I've ever had." Evidently he did not believe that it was a dream. He sat up and listened; the others listened, too. There was no sound in the soft, still night, however. They talked for a little while, a strangely subdued quintette. It was as though they were all trying to comment on these experiences without saying anything about them.
Distantly yet almost out of the air about them, as if it were the spirit of Kentucky speaking with ineffable gentleness through the gathering twilight a quintette of negroes, somewhere across the valley, sang in mellow, minor harmonies: "Weep no moh, mah lady; Oh, weep no moh, today!"

She has written a piano quintette and a string quartette, besides short cantatas and the usual lesser pieces for violin, piano, and voice.

Their ages ranged from sixty-five to eighty years when I first knew them. Unlike the Hannah More quintette, they were not literary. But no hive of busy bees was ever more industrious than they in the line of purely feminine accomplishments. "The Pears" were not poor, but they were frugal.
Schumann had intervals of reprieve from these morbid dreams, and he again began to compose with renewed almost abnormal vigor and productiveness. The artist pair took a trip to Vienna where Clara gave several concerts. They spent some weeks there and before returning to Dresden, gave two splendid concerts in Prague, where Schumann received a perfect ovation for his piano quintette and some songs.
