And musical instruments, flutes and flageolets and violins, and oh, the accordeons! There are German and French. Oh, I wish I could own one. I know I could soon learn to play on it!" declared Charles eagerly. In that far-back time an accordeon really was considered worth one's while. A piano was quite an extravagance.
And then, when it's warm summer weather, and the lambs frisk and frolic about their mothers in the field, and you just sit down and play on the accordeon, while the dog keeps the flock in order, O, there's no work so pleasant or so healthy as that!" When Mr. Lee returned from the city, Minnie was ready with her questions about sheep. "I want to know all I can about them," she exclaimed.
They try to shut their saddening eyes, And in the vain endeavour We see them twinkling in the skies, And so they wink forever. What do YOU think of these verses my friends? Is that piece an impromptu? said my landlady's daughter. Long ringlets. Cameo pin. Gold pencil-case on a chain. Locket. Bracelet. Album. Autograph book. Accordeon.
Waitstill Webb come and made up some things I must have, and as preparations went on my pardner's face grew haggard and wan from day to day, and he acted as if he knew not what he wuz doin'. Why, the day I got down my trunk I see him start for the barn with the accordeon in a pan. He sot out to get milk for the calf. He was nearly wild. He hadn't been so good to me in over four years.
Over across the bay some one was playing an accordeon, and to its strains a stout-lunged lumberjack was roaring out a song, with all his fellows joining strong in the chorus: "Oh, the Saginaw Kid was a cook in a camp, way up on the Ocon-to-o-o. And the cook in a camp in them old days had a damn hard row to hoe-i-oh! Had a damn hard row to hoe." There was a fine, rollicking air to it.
Then Grandfather took the accordeon, tipped his head back, shut his eyes and began to play, beating time with one foot. Kat heard the music and came out too. She and Kit sat down on the doorstep, one on each side of Grandfather, to listen. Grandfather played six tunes. Then Grandmother said, "Why don't we go to the woods to hear the band play?" "No reason at all," said Grandfather.
We stayed in the music room quite a good deal and once or twice Josiah expressed the wish that he had brought along his accordeon. And he sez: "It don't seem right to take all this pleasure and not give back anything in return." But I sez, "I guess they'll git along without hearin' that accordeon." "I might sing sunthin', I spose," sez he.
Hand in hand, just as when they were little children, Martin and Désiré, this white-haired brother and sister went back to the old home together; and it was Christmas Day, in the morning. At five o'clock that evening the sound of Gabriel's accordeon went echoing up and down the garden, and thirty little children were marching to its music along the paths, between the rows of blooming laurel.
They try to shut their saddening eyes, And in the vain endeavour We see them twinkling in the skies, And so they wink forever. What do you think of these verses, my friends? Is that piece an impromptu? said my landlady's daughter. Long ringlets. Cameo pin. Gold pencil-case on a chain. Locket. Bracelet. Album. Autograph book. Accordeon.
So, at each sailing on the "long course" the anguish is keen. "Ia ora na i te Atua! Farewell and God keep you!" the women cried as they stood beside the half-buried cannon that serve to make fast the ships by the coral bank. From the deck of the nearby Hinano came the music of an accordeon and a chorus of familiar words: "I teie nie mahana Ne tere no oe e Hati Na te Moana!"
