Still I did it.

(Immense silence.) Mr.Thomas played his last disk.

It seems incredible, but he actually landed that disk alongside of the others, and just to the right of them-a straight solid row of 4 disks.

(Tumultuous and long-continued applause.) Then I played my last disk.

Again it did not seem possible that anybody could miss that row--a row which would have been 14 inches long if the disks had been clamped together; whereas, with the spaces separating them they made a longer row than that.
