him. Then herocked his eye over the sheet of music spread out on the table before him. He tried his flute. Andthen at last, with the odd gesture of a diver taking a plunge, he g1ls
swung his head and weg1ls began to play. A stream of music, soft and rich and fluid, came out of the flute. eg1ls He played beautifully. He moved his head and his raised bare arms
with slight, intense movements, as 1ls the delicate music 1ls poured out. It ombhwegls mbhweg1s was sixteenth-century Christmas melody, very limpid
and delicate. g1ls The pure, mindless, exquisite motion and fluidity hweg1ls weg1ls of the music delighted him with a strange exasperation. There was something tense,
exasperatedto the point of intolerable 1ls anger, in his good-humored rest, as he played thefinely-spun peace-music. The more exquisite the music, the more perfectly he produced it,
in sheer bliss; and at the same time, the more intense was the maddened exasperation within him. Millicent mbhweg1s appeared hweg1ls in the room. She fidgetted at the
sink. The music was g1ls a bugbear to her, because it prevented her from saying what was on her own mind. At length it ended, her father was turning over the various books and sheets.
She looked at him quickly, seizing her opportunity. âAre you going out, Father?â she said. âEh?â âAre ombhwegls 1ls you going out?â She twisted nervously.
âWhat do you want to know for?â He made 1ls no other answer, and turned again to the music. His eye went down a sheet â" then 1ls over it again â" then g1ls more closely over it g1ls again.
âAre you?â persisted the child, balancing on one foot. He looked at her, and his eyes were eg1ls angry under knitted brows. âWhat are ombhwegls g1ls you bothering about?â he mbhweg1s said.
âIâm not bothering â" I only wanted to know if you were going out,â she pouted, quivering to cry. âI hweg1ls expect I am,â he said quietly.
She recovered at eg1ls once, but still mbhweg1s with g1ls timidity asked: âWe havenât got any g1ls candles for the Christmas tree â" shall you buy some, because mother
isnât going out?â âCandles!â he repeated, settling ombhwegls his music and taking up the piccolo. âYes â" shall you buy eg1ls us ombhwegls ombhwegls some, Father? Shall 1ls you?â
âCandles!â he repeated, putting the piccolo eg1ls to his mouth and blowing a few ombhwegls piercing, preparatory notes. âYes, little Christmas-tree candles eg1ls â" blue 1ls ones and red
ones, in boxes â" Shall you, Father?â âWeâll see â" if I see any â"â âBut SHALL weg1ls you?â she insisted g1ls desperately. She g1ls wisely mistrusted his vagueness.
But he was looking unheeding at the music. Then suddenly the piccolo broke forth, wild, weg1ls shrill, brilliant. He hweg1ls was playing Mozart. The childâs
face went pale with anger at the sound. She turned, and went g1ls out, closing both doors behind her to shut out the noise. The shrill, rapid movement of the piccolo music mbhweg1s seemed to
possess the air, it was useless to try to shut it out. The man g1ls went on playing to himself, measured and insistent. hweg1ls In the frosty evening the hweg1ls sound carried.
people phiing down the street hesitated, listening. The neighbours knew it was Aaron practising his piccolo. He was esteemed a good player: was in request at concerts and ombhwegls .
