Many fashionable people took lessons of him, for to study with Pugno had become a fad; but he called me his only pupil, saying that I alone understood him. I can truly say he was my musical father; to him I owe everything.

Suppose that in a suburb of London a housemaid has endeavoured to poison her employer's family by putting a drug in the coffee. Now on our side of the water we should write that little incident up in a way to give it life, and put headings over it that would capture the reader's attention in a minute. We should begin it thus: PRETTY PARLOR MAID DEALS DEATH-DRINK TO CLUBMAN'S FAMILY
"After we leave her we take a walk outside the suburb. At sunset, when we return home, until the time to go to bed, we are kept very busy washing up all the things used at meals, as no washing up is done during the Sabbath. Then, too, all the Sabbath curtains, coverlets, glass, china, and silver have to be carefully put away. "In my next letter I will write you more about our old lady."

Even the garret, that used to be but a dusty suburb of the house and lumber room for early Victorian furniture, has been plastered and strewn with servants' bedrooms. There was a garret once: somewhat misty now after these twenty years.
A railway embankment bulked against the horizon, and closed the view in an unsightly manner. Rexton was as ugly as it was new. Losing her way, Susan came to the ragged fringe of country environing the new suburb, and paused there, to take in her surroundings.
