Hehas been attending a series of concerts, and borrowed the form ofthe directions to the orchestra. "Sweet, but not too sweet, " he said, translating the Italian for the benefit of any of the company who mightnot be linguists or musical experts.
"Do you go to those musical hullabaloos?" called out Number Seven. Therewas something very much like rudeness in this question and the tone inwhich it was asked. But we are used to the outbursts, and extravagances, and oddities of Number Seven, and do n

"Yes, " he answered, modestly, "I enjoy the brouhaha, if you choose toconsider it such, of all this quarrelsome menagerie of noise-makingmachines, brought into order and harmony by the presiding genius, the leader, who has made a happy family of these snarling stringedinstruments and whining wind instruments, so that although "Linguae centum sent, oraque centum, "notwithstanding there are a hundred vibrating tongues and a hundredbellowing mouths, their one grand blended and harmonized uproar sets allmy fibres tingling with a not unpleasing tremor.
