You are a singer, and must of course be careful.

That is perhaps the reason why you wander about the streets when the nights are dark and damp.

But I can offer you something more attractive than liquor and tobacco.

A great violinist lives with me,--a queer, nocturnal bird,--and if you will come he will be enchanted to play for you.

I assure you he is a very-good musician, the like of which you will hardly hear nowadays.
