Piano and Song

CHAPTER XIV
18/21

That is the reason Mrs.Gold says that Jenny Lind sings too coldly, and ought to listen to more passionate models.

But we will talk more about this at home.
MRS.GOLD.Now, Mr.Dominie, will not your daughter Emma play us some little trifle?
Afterwards I will execute with Mr.Silver, "By thy loving kindness, O Lord," and a few duets by Kuecken, and finish, if the company wishes, with the "Grace" aria.
DOMINIE.

Will you allow me first to replace this broken string?
(_After Dominie has finished, Mr.Forte strides up to the piano, and plays his Etude for the left hand, with the right hand extended towards the company._) DOMINIE (_to Mr.Forte, after the conclusion of the piece_).

Would it not have been easier and more to the purpose, if you had used both hands?
MR.FORTE.We must forgive old people such pedantic observations.

You entirely mistake my stand-point.
