Very curious! He must have been mistaken! JOHN S.But I always was devotedly fond of music.

My father and my grandfather, on our estate, often used to play the organ for the organist in church, and the tenants always knew when they were playing.
My father used often to tell that story at table.

Ha, ha! It was very droll! DOMINIE.

Curious! JOHN S.Well, to return to my violin.

I gave it up after a year, because it seemed rather scratchy to me, too.
DOMINIE.
