More than anything else Ditte loved the singing-class. She had never heard any one but Granny sing, and she only did it when she was spinning to prevent the thread from being uneven, and the wheel from swinging, said she. It was always the same monotonous, gliding melody; Ditte thought she had composed it herself, because it was short or long according to her mood.
"Aunt Barbara has gone out, and will not be home till dinner-time," she added, as she returned to the tea-table and fireside. "Then you and I will drink tea together, Madelon," said Graham, seating himself in an arm-chair opposite to her. "Where have you been all this afternoon? Have you been out too?" "I have been to a singing-class. I generally go twice a-week when we are in town."
At the end of a fortnight three of the settlers visited to see how matters were progressing and left satisfied. Shifting his boarding-place each Saturday Archie came to know the settlers intimately, and perceived how little outside their daily toil there was to engage their minds. He proposed a singing-class for the young fellows and the girls, and set a date for the first meeting.
'He's a very jealous temper, and I shouldn't like him to know I'd been flirting, even with a child like you. It was all over. Paul survived. He left the church, and returned with a doubtful allegiance to Ebenezer. He joined the singing-class there, for his voice had suddenly grown harsh and deep, and he conceived himself to be a basso.
The singing-class draws to the church on Sunday afternoon the younger element of the community. When the service is over, some go for a swim in the Wolf River which runs along the foot of the grove, or on a grassless space under a giant oak on the schoolhouse-yard there will be a game of marbles.
He could have hugged the crowd for sheer delight. The conductor of the singing-class weeded Paul out at the close of the first glee, and brought his musical ambitions to an end. 'Theer are at least twelve notes in an ordinary singin' voice, said the conductor, 'and theer ought to be eight half-tones scattered in among 'em, somewheer.
But I have a way of enjoying a thing by myself." And he pumped away, playing with tasteful variations until the hall was full and the singing-class assembled in gloves and ribbons. They opened the ceremonies for us by rendering "Sweet and Low" very happily; and I trusted it was an omen. Sharon was hearty, and we had "Sweet and Low" twice.
But it was presently noticed that these allusions became less frequent during Lacy's amorous aberrations, and an occasional depression and unusual reticence marked Captain Jim's manner when the subject was discussed in his presence. He seemed to endeavor to make up for his friend's defection by a kind of personal homage to Polly, and not unfrequently accompanied her to church or to singing-class.
