Excerpt from Pender Among the Residents Captain chaffinch, being of a musical turn, paused for a moment outside Miss F oy's small house, or rather, outside the gate Of her garden. Certain strains, on his approach, had revealed themselves as the Opening bars of the waltz from Faust. They came brightly tripping to his ear, but of a sudden faltered, made a blind stagger at recovery, and - abruptly ceased. The captain, whistling the conclusion Of the air for himself, passed on down the street, while the piano, unabashed, started upon a second attempt. The piano was Old, and its voice most tremulous and cracked. Some of the keys had a disconcerting habit, when struck, of not returning to their original position. One or two of them, even beneath the firm touch of Miss Adeline Burton, refused to respond at all. On these occasions a remote and wiry tinkle was all that could be heard, sounding from unfathomable depths within, but this plaintive tinkle, so feeble, so helpless, had no effect upon the younger Miss Burton she but pounded the harder, with a joyous determination that set the brass candlesticks dancing, and irritated her instructress nearly to the point of tears.
