The Rosary

CHAPTER IV
19/28

"I would offer to play your accompaniment, dear; but I can only manage Au clair de la lune, and Three Blind Mice, with one finger." "And I would offer to play your accompaniment, dear," said Garth Dalmain, "if you were going to sing Lassen's Allerseelen, for I play that quite beautifully with ten fingers! It is an education only to hear the way I bring out the tolling of the cemetery chapel bell right through the song.

The poor thing with the bunch of purple heather can never get away from it.

Even in the grand crescendo, appassionata, fortissimo, when they discover that 'in death's dark valley this is Holy Day,' I give then no holiday from that bell.

I don't know what it did 'once in May.' It tolls all the time, with maddening persistence, in my accompaniment.

But I have seen The Rosary, and I dare not face those chords.
