Even the next car was derailed and badly smashed. The Alcomotive, too, reclined upon one side and blazed merrily, a fitting tailpiece to the scene. But not a soul had been killed we learned that from one of the groups which swarmed from the express, after a muster had been taken of our own passengers. It was a marvel but a fact. Hawkins and I edged away slowly.
"Now," says the dealer, "you had better do it," and the workman proceeds thus first removing the tailpiece and with a "post setter" lifting the sound post out carefully through the right sound hole, he removes the tail pin, and holding the instrument to let as much light as possible into the interior, looks through the pin hole and observes "No patch in this, Mr. , fresh as a new-laid egg original bar too, however, let's go ahead."
If that is all he means to do for me. And I had sworn a vow never to injure a woman!" But let us leave the robber for a moment to his meditations and go up, like the Duke, to the rooms in the palace. "Another tailpiece, a Cupid on a snail! And page 230 is blank," said the journalist.
It had been hanging on the attic wall for a half-century, so that the back was split in twain, the sound-post lost, the neck and the tailpiece cracked. The lad took it home, and studied it for two whole evenings before the open fire. The problem of restoring it was quite beyond his abilities.
The dialogue in question follows, at least so much of it as is in point, and will serve as tailpiece to the specimens of Tabarin's wit: Grat. I had a great discussion this morning with a philosopher, trying to prove to him that Nature often makes great mistakes. D. D. No, no, Grattelard: everything that Nature does is done for the best. Grat. Just wait now: let me tell you how I had to give in.
Regulate with the broad end of the setter, and draw or push through the soundhole on either side, as may be necessary. And when you have nicely gauged and secured by single knobs the tail-gut to the tailpiece, the instrument is finished excepting the neck, the polishing of which we will now consider. With constant handling you will find this neck dirty and greasy.
This latter necessitates the use of a higher and more substantial nut, otherwise the tailpiece would be close down to, if not touching, the table, causing a rattling. Further, in accordance with mechanical law, the strain or pull forward increases with the height of the nut.
Cormyn, snugly silken dry ones, were so taken with the pretty likeness after hearing Victor call the tripping dripping creature the happiest man in England, that they nursed it in their minds for a Bewick tailpiece to the chapter of a pleasant rural day. It imbedded the day in an idea that it had been rural.
"Well, and then?" said such of the audience as understood. "That is the end of the chapter," said Lousteau. "The fact of this tailpiece changes my views as to the authorship. To have his book got up, under the Empire, with vignettes engraved on wood, the writer must have been a Councillor of State, or Madame Barthelemy-Hadot, or the late lamented Desforges, or Sewrin."
