There has been much prate lately of as innocent a foible as ever served to make men self-forgetful for a few seconds of time the collecting of first editions. Somebody hard up for 'copy' denounced this pastime, and made merry over a virtuoso's whim. Somebody else Mr.
Close by he was handsome and engaging. His hair was worn like a violin virtuoso's, and his hands were white, delicate, and well cared for. He spoke first. "How did you make out on that job? I don't fancy there was much in it. Boarding-houses, you know!" Pinton, every particle of colour leaving his flabby face, asked: "What job?" The stranger looked at him keenly and went on rather ironically:
Perhaps after years of strife a manager may approach him some day with a contract. Lucky Nathan, have you not a thousand brothers who may never see a contract? Then, "Can it be possible Nathan, is it really America, America the virtuoso's Golconda!" Nathan makes a glorious tournée. Perhaps the little mother goes with him.
There I was lodged in a really magnificent apartment, with a private bath, a luxurious bedroom, a smaller bedroom for the slave detailed to wait on me, a tiny triclinium and a jewel of a sitting-room, gorgeous with statuettes and paintings, crammed with objects of art and walled with a virtuoso's selection of the best books of the best possible materials and workmanship.
Upon these two means of administering force must depend whatever differentiation in dynamic power and tonal quality the player desires to produce. The various gradations of tone which the virtuoso's hand and arm are trained to execute are so minute that it is impossible for me to conceive of a scientific instrument or scale to measure them.
Besides, this medal has the true Corinthian ring; then the attitude is upright, whereas that of Britannia is reclining; and how is it possible to mistake a branch of palm for a parazonium?" All the rest of the company espoused the virtuoso's side of the question, because the reputation of each was concerned.
Reputation naturally places a higher monetary value upon the services of the virtuoso, and for the student to expect instruction in elementary points in analysis is obviously an extravagance. The virtuoso's time during the lesson period should be spent in the finer study of interpretation not in those subjects which the elementary teacher should have completed.
Then I possessed The Wayside all alone till near eight of the evening. Not a sound but birds' last notes was to be heard. It was strange and sweet. I thought of you in a sea-breeze with felicity. At about eight I heard little feet racing along the Larch Path, and Baby came to view. She read aloud to me some of your "Virtuoso's Collection," and then to bed, celestial. A letter came from Mr.
He would cut a drawing out of a newspaper, frame it, hang it up, and be just as tender towards it as if it were an impression with the unique remarque. Mr. Locker had probably inherited his virtuoso's whim from his ancestors.
My heart thrilled within me at the idea of such a reviving draught; for methought I had great need of it after travelling so far on the dusty road of life. But I know not whether it were a peculiar glance in the virtuoso's eye, or the circumstance that this most precious liquid was contained in an antique sepulchral urn, that made me pause.
