As the vocal aria was the result of the simple folk-song combined with the intense craving of song's master molders for individual expression, so instrumental music striving to walk alone, without support from words, gained vital elements through the discovery that various phases of mental disposition might be indicated by alternating dance tunes differing in rhythm and movement, according to Nature's own law of contrasts.
Finding a listener neither inattentive nor without sympathy, he went further still and told of the song's effect upon him, and that the sweetness of it still abiding made his hatred of her people impossible. "She'll do for looks too," said Miss Mary. "She takes them with her singing from her mother, who was my dear companion before this trouble rose."
'I submit that, in the present company, that 'ere song's political; and, wot's much the same, that it ain't true. I say that that coachman did not run away; but that he died game game as pheasants; and I won't hear nothin' said to the contrairey.
'Madam, I have learned of no wandering harper: your ladyship means mistress Amanda's Welsh song! shall I call her? said Dorothy, disappointed. 'I mean thee, and thy song, thou green linnet! rejoined lady Margaret. 'What song was it of which I said to thee that the singer deserved, for his very song's sake, that whereof he made his moan? Whence thou hadst it, from harper or bagpiper, I care not.
The smothered, double drumming of a guitar from the distant revel assailed my ears, and a fresh, sweet voice, singing: "As at my door I chanced to be A-spinning, Spinning, A grenadier he winked at me A-grinning, Grinning! As at my door I chanced to be A grenadier he winked at me. And now my song's begun, you see! "My grenadier he said to me.
She was standing before an arched doorway over which were the words QUEEN ALICE in large letters, and on each side of the arch there was a bell-handle; one was marked 'Visitors' Bell, and the other 'Servants' Bell. 'I'll wait till the song's over, thought Alice, 'and then I'll ring the WHICH bell must I ring? she went on, very much puzzled by the names.
'I maintain that that 'ere song's personal to the cloth, said the mottled-faced gentleman, interrupting it at this point. 'I demand the name o' that coachman. 'Nobody know'd, replied Sam. 'He hadn't got his card in his pocket. 'I object to the introduction o' politics, said the mottled-faced gentleman.
It is needless, it is impossible to add anything to this; the fervor, the sweetness, the flush of poetic ecstasy, the lovely and glowing eye, the perfect nature of that bright and warm intelligence, that darling child; Lady Nairne's words, and the old tune, stealing up from the depths of the human heart, deep calling unto deep, gentle and strong like the waves of the great sea hushing themselves to sleep in the dark; the words of Burns touching the kindred chord; her last numbers, "wildly sweet," traced with thin and eager fingers, already touched by the last enemy and friend, moriens canit, and that love which is so soon to be her everlasting light, is her song's burden to the end.
"You bet there are! I'm one of 'em, too! What that song's done to me and to other innocent bystanders in the last couple weeks " She sighed hugely, drank more of the fortified brew nicely from the cup this time and fashioned a cigarette from materials at her hand. In the flame of a lighted match Mrs. Pettengill's eyes sparkled with a kind of savage retrospection. She shrugged it off impatiently.
Not coyly did she give this, with inciting, blushing implications, but rather with an unbending, disapproving sternness, as if with intent to divert the minds of her listeners from the song's frank ribaldry to its purely musical values.
