That was the way I did it, and I was sure she would be pleased; but she cut me dead on the stairs, the first day she convalesced enough to be out. Arlt, musicians are second-rate beings, at best." "I am sorry. Perhaps you can suggest a remedy," Arlt replied literally. "Cast off your leading strings, and work out your own theories to suit yourselves," Bobby answered unhesitatingly.
Not even Arlt knows it yet." Bobby meditated for the space of several seconds. "Thayer, I am delighted," he said then. "I was so afraid your stopping now might mean a permanent break-up in your work. Now you are going into your right field at last. You've been too large for oratorio; you fill altogether too much space, and crowd out the chorus. You need a whole stage to ramp around in.
Lloyd Avalons realized she had been defeated and then dismissed by the man whose patroness she was assuming to be. "No matter," she reflected; "we've got to pay Signora Cantabella, and we can insist upon her singing something a little more digestible. Mr. Thayer is cranky; but we get him and that little Arlt for nothing, so I suppose we mustn't be too critical." For once, Mrs.
"He ought to, but I can't seem to discover the way to get on in this precious country of ours. Arlt is a musician to the tips of his fingers; I have yet to hear a pianist in the city to compare with him. And still, nobody manifests the least interest in him." Bobby contemplated the tip of his own cigar, bending his brows and frowning as much from his optical angle as from his mental one.

It is quite incidental that she is uncommonly rich and uncommonly homely. Nobody ever stops to think about either fact." "And she has heard of Arlt?" "Yes, she hears of everybody.
"It does in theory," Bobby returned; "only now and then it reminds one of things, and upsets the whole scheme of inspiration. But I was surprised that Beatrix went, last night." "What did she say?" Arlt inquired, with a frankness which yet bore no taint of egotism. "Not very much; but her face at the close of your Andante told the story.
Arlt had fallen to work with the eagerness born of long and enforced abstinence. Certain musical themes had been haunting him for the past two years; yet he had known that he lacked the training which should enable him to develop them properly, and, with rare self-denial, rather than spoil them he had turned his back upon them and tried to forget them.
According to their annual custom, the Danes went to their cottage at Monomoy, the first of July, and Lorimer took up his quarters at the hotel, less than a mile away. Two weeks later, Thayer and Arlt joined him there. Lorimer had been urgent for Thayer's coming, and Thayer, upon thinking the matter over, could see no valid reason for refusal.
Artistically, you and Arlt are as alike as two peas; personally, you are positive, he is negative." There was a pause. Then Thayer said quietly, "I think I shall sing the Damrosch Danny Deever. It has a stunning accompaniment." The committee of the Fresh Air Fund concert showed themselves a potent trio, and their concert became recognized as the official finale of the musical season.
I suspect Arlt of having cut his wisdom teeth on it." "Only women cut their wisdom teeth on a teacup," Miss Gannion observed. "But really, Sally, I would save my tea until the crowd shows itself." Sally shook her head. "You interrupted me in the midst of my thesis." Bobby interrupted again. "It is our only chance to get in a word. We have to insert its thin edge at a comma, or else keep still.
