Piano and Song

CHAPTER XIV
16/21

It has the superior air of genius, and sounds very original.
(_Mrs.Gold has "The Creation" in her hand, and Mr.Silver leads her to the piano for the execution of the grand duet between Adam and Eve.

Mr.Forte is exhausted, and Dominie plays the accompaniment.

Mr.Silver sings intelligently and unaffectedly; Mrs.Gold, as before, but with still less regard to time, and more out of tune; but she tries to compensate for this by introducing very long ornaments at the _fermate_ in the _allegro_, sung with her thin, piercing, over-strained voice; and she frequently rolls up her black eyes.

At the conclusion, Mrs.Gold was led to the arm-chair, in great exhaustion of feeling._) MR.PIOUS.The divine art of music celebrates its perfect triumph in such interpretations of Haydn.

Mrs.Gold, were those delicious _fermate_ of your own invention?
MRS.GOLD.
