The red, white, and blue bedecked the houses, the lamp posts, the tram-cars, the barrel-organs, the monkeys, the dogs, and the horseflesh! The relief of Kimberley was an accomplished fact. The issue of the campaign was no longer in doubt. Little now remains to be told.
Disparity of ages and unsuitableness of dispositions what was it Fellingham said? like two barrel-organs grinding different tunes all day in a house." "I don't want to hear Mr. Fellingham's comparisons," Tinman snapped. "Oh! he's nothing to the girl," said Van Diemen. "She doesn't stomach leaving me." "My dear Philip! why should she leave you? When we have interests in common as one household "
She comes in without knocking, looks at picture-books, sprawls about doing nothing, smokes my best cigarettes, hums tunes which she has picked up from barrel-organs, bends over me to see what I am writing, munching her eternal sweetmeats in my ear, and laughs at me when I tell her she has irremediably broken the thread of my ideas. Of course I might be brutal and turn her out.
Only true friends speak as he spoke.... The barrel-organs, of course, grind out the old tune about Mr. Roosevelt's tactlessness. In reality he is a very tactful as well as a very shrewd man. It is surely the height of tactfulness to recognize that the British people are sane enough and sincere enough to like being told the truth.
Barrel-organs, and the things next door to 'em that you blow wi' your foot, have come in terribly of late years."

"The knight paid his money, and was admitted. At first the crowd prevented his seeing any thing for the place was full to suffocation, and the noise awful for, besides the exclamations and applause of the audience, there were three barrel-organs, playing 'Home, sweet Home! and 'Cherry Ripe, and the wild man himself contributed his share to the uproar.
The grandmamma had an equally generous gift, only she had no longer any voice: only every second word was audible, like one of those barrel-organs, in which an occasional note, instead of sounding, merely blows. Our business was to listen quietly.
It began at eight in the evening with an illumination of the façade of Santa Maria Piedigrotta and with the whole population walking about blowing penny trumpets. After four hours of this I went to bed at midnight, and was lulled to sleep by barrel-organs, which supersede the trumpets about that hour.
Every moment beginneth existence, around every 'Here' rolleth the ball 'There. The middle is everywhere. Crooked is the path of eternity." O ye wags and barrel-organs! answered Zarathustra, and smiled once more, how well do ye know what had to be fulfilled in seven days: And how that monster crept into my throat and choked me! But I bit off its head and spat it away from me.
Lyrics of the tea-and-muffin type streamed from my pen. "Sleep whilst I Sing, Love," had brought me in an astonishing amount of money, in spite of the music-pirates. It was on the barrel-organs. Adults hummed it. Infants crooned it in their cots. Comic men at music-halls opened their turns by remarking soothingly to the conductor of the orchestra, "I'm going to sing now, so you go to sleep, love."
