He wrote: No one notices inequality in the power of the notes of a scale when it is played very fast and equally, as regards time.

For a long time players have acted against nature in seeking to give equal power to each finger.
But see, mes garcons, on this side of the church rises the square and darkling tower of Earl Salisbury's castle, and even from here I seem to see on yonder banner the red roebuck of the Montacutes." "Red upon white," said Alleyne, shading his eyes; "but whether roebuck or no is more than I could vouch. How black is the great tower, and how bright the gleam of arms upon the wall!
Stephen's course lay in the direction of one of these relics of better days a wide-eyed house with a pieced-out roof, flattened like an old woman's wig over a sloping forehead, the eyebrows of eaves shading two blinking windows. A most respectable old dowager of a building, no doubt, in its time, with the best of Madeira and the choicest of cuts going down two steps into its welcoming basement.

Shading their eyes, and straining their ears, the astonished people stood until the whole vision disappeared like a speck in the clouds the rosy clouds that overhung the Beautiful Mountains. King Dolor was never again beheld or heard of in his own country.
The Moon having no atmosphere, the benefit of this gaseous envelope in softening off and nicely shading the approaches of light and darkness, heat and cold, is never felt on her surface.

He is over six feet tall, slender, straight, and graceful, with a long, slim face, and thick hair falling over his forehead and shading his piercing blue eyes. He has crossed the mountains with an emigrant party into the backwoods region of Tennessee. The party arrived at Nashville, where their life was very much like that of Daniel Boone in Kentucky.
