I have heard a great deal of the industry of your son, Stock.

What are you studying now, Mr.Stock?
STOCK (_in proud self-consciousness, rather Sophomoric_).

I play six hours a day, two hours scales with both hands together, and four hours Etudes.

I have already gone through the first book of Clementi and four books of Cramer.

Now I am in the Gradus ad Parnassum: I have already studied the right fingering for it.
DOMINIE.
