"You see," he said, "I am really very moderate." "Evidently," said Christophe. "I ought to thank you. You might have turned my septette into a cafe-concert song." He stopped in horror and held his head in his hands. "I have sold my soul," he said over and over again. "You may be sure," said Hecht sarcastically, "that I shall not abuse it."
Judge Dunne, sitting in the auditorium of the Bush Street synagogue, between the six-tinned ceremonial candlesticks and in front of the Mosiac tablets of Hebraic law, dispensed modern justice. Meanwhile the Committee of Seven sprang suddenly into being. A morning paper announced that Schmitz had handed the reins of the city over to a septette of prominent citizens.
It is true that his honesty did not prevent his making contracts disadvantageous to Christophe: but he kept his contracts. He kept them only too well. One day Christophe was amazed to see a septette of his arranged as a quartette, and a suite of piano pieces clumsily transcribed as a duet, without his having been consulted.
Tender passages occurred here and there all the same, and Weinlich, to whom I had already shown the beginning of my work on my return to Leipzig, praised me for the clearness and good vocal quality of the introduction I had composed to the first act; this was an Adagio for a vocal septette, in which I had tried to express the reconciliation of the hostile families, together with the emotions of the wedded couple and the sinister passion of the secret lover.
If a quartette were assembled, and many times the musical party was enlarged to a quintette or a septette, an adjournment was necessary to a room less crowded, but equally sparse of conventional furniture.
