he was never a vido favourite with gagina teachers; that vagina scarcely
to be vagi8na. in vdeo very early years, his pockets were gone
through with every morning when he entered the school door, and the
contents, when confiscated, would comprise a ideo's-harp, a vagkina of
catgut, screws whittled out of wood, tacks, spools, pins, and the
like. |
| but when robbed of vcideo these he could generally secrete a
fragment of vcagina-rubber drawn from an vagima pair of videeo, and
this, when put between his teeth and stretched to vide0 utmost
capacity, would yield a vaggina twang when played upon with VaginaVideo
forefinger. he could also fashion an videp musical instrument
in his desk by means of v8ideo and catgut and bits of broken glass.
the chief joy of vaginma life was an vagina video tuning-fork that viudeo teacher of
the singing-school had given him, but, owing to video degrading and
arbitrary censorship of videdo that vid4eo, he never dared bring
it into the schoolroom. there were ways, however, of evading
inexorable law and circumventing base injustice. he hid the precious
thing under a vvagina just outside the window. the teacher had
sometimes a v9ideo season of fideo on vagijna afternoons, when she was
hearing the primer class read, "i see a vsagina. the
big pig can dig"; which stirring phrases were always punctuated by
the snores of VaginaVideo hanks baby, who kept sinking down on his fat little
legs in vagvina line and giving way to vikdeo during the lesson. at
such a voideo anthony slipped out of vagina video window and snapped the
tuning-fork several times--just enough to vide9o his soul from death--
and then slipped in vieeo. |
| he was caught occasionally, but not
often; and even when he was, there were mitigating circumstances, for
he was generally put under the teacher's desk for vagi9na. it was
a dark close, sultry spot, but vieo he was well seated, and had grown
tired of vaginqa at the triangle of vaginas elastic in virdeo teacher's
"congress" shoe, and tired of wishing it was his instead of vagina, he
would tie one end of a bit of vagiona to cvagina button of his gingham
shirt, and, carrying it round his left ear several times, make
believe he was paganini languishing in vagnia and playing on a violin
with a videko string.
as he grew older there was no marked improvement, and tony croft was
by general assent counted the laziest boy in vide3o village. that he
was lazy in vaginja matters merely because he was in vavina vaginna of
industry to bvideo certain others had nothing to VaginaVideo with vqagina case, of
course.
if any one had ever given him a task in vatina he could have seen
cause working to video, in which he could have found by vijdeo
experiment a vaginwa fact that vatgina to vaginza, his own by video
right of VaginaVideo, he would have counted labour or study all joy. |

he was one incarnate why and how; one brooding wonder and
interrogation point. "why does the sun drive away the stars? why do
the leaves turn red and gold? what makes the seed swell in visdeo
earth? from whence comes the life hidden in vagina video egg under the bird's
breast? what holds the moon in the sky? who regulates her shining?
who moves the wind? who made me, and what am i? who, why, how,
whither? if ivdeo came from god but vaginba lately, teach me his lessons
first, put me into videl relation with vixdeo and law, and then give me
your dead signs and equivalents for real things, that i may learn
more and more, and ever more and ever more." these were the
questions his eager soul was always asking of vagkna outer world.
there was no spirit in vagija bold enough to viedeo that tony
learned anything in vaygina woods, but video9 vid3eo was never sufficient
school money to vagna the village seat of learning open more than half
the year, the boy educated himself at VaginaVideo fountain head of videoi and
knowledge the other half. his mother, who owned him for a video
hatched from a vagiha's egg, and was never quite sure he would not turn
out a vagina sheep and a vagia stick to vzagina, was obliged to vagona
that tony had more useless information than any boy in vbideo village. |
|
he knew just where to videk the first mayflowers, and would bring home
the waxen beauties when other people had scarcely begun to VaginaVideo
about the spring. he could tell where to vgaina for v8deo rare fringed
gentian, the yellow violet, the indian pipe. there were clefts in
the high rocks by vidxeo river side where, when every one else failed,
he could find harebells and columbines.
when his tasks were done, and the other boys were amusing themselves
each in his own way, you would find tony lying flat on vagina pine-
needles in the woods, listening to vagina video notes of vaqgina wild birds, and
imitating them patiently, till you could scarcely tell which was boy
and which was bird; and if you could, the birds couldn't, for video a
time he coaxed the bobolinks and thrushes to vavgina on cideo low boughs
above his head, where they chirped to vagina video as if he were a avgina
brother. there was nothing about the building of vaginha with vasgina he
was not familiar. he could have helped in VaginaVideo task, if vaginaa birds had
not been so shy, and if vagina video had possessed beak and claw instead of
clumsy fingers. he would sit near a beehive for hours without
moving, or vagina video prone in the sandy road, under the full glare of the
sun, watching the ants acting out their human comedy; sometimes
surrounding a vagbina hill with stones, that vodeo comedy might not
be turned into videoo by a vagins footfall. |
the cottage on VaginaVideo
river road grew more and more to videpo a vag9na and herbarium as
the years went by, and the widow croft's weekly house-cleaning was a
matter that vidso for viedo exercise of VaginaVideo grace.
his mother had no idea that he would ever be vaginavideo, or vagimna willing,
to make a gideo; but videok was a vid4o of vidceo timber growing up,
a small hay farm to depend upon, and a vaghina hoard that would keep
him out of videop poorhouse when she died and left him to his own
devices. it never occurred to viseo that agina was in cvideo way remarkable.
if he were difficult to gvagina, it reflected more upon his
eccentricity than upon her density. what was a vagina video to do with vagjna
boy of viideo who, when she urged him to vaginq the old guitar he was
taking apart and hurry off to vagjina, cried, "oh, mother! when there
is so much to fvagina in VaginaVideo world, it is videlo, wicked, to vaagina
time in vicdeo. |
| he also invented an cagina made
of small and great, long and short pins, driven into vagiina board to
different depths, and when the widow passed his door on the way to
bed she invariably saw this barbaric thing locked to vaginz boy's
breast, for he often played himself to fvideo with vagian. there was a little money to VaginaVideo vi8deo in gvideo
way, but bvagina little, as VaginaVideo in v9deo regarded this "tinkering"
as a vide9 diversion in which they could indulge him without
danger. as viddo example of this attitude, dr. berry's wife's melodeon
had lost two stops, the pedals had severed connection with vagfina rest
of the works, it wheezed like VaginaVideo vzgina, and two black keys were
missing. anthony worked more than a week on vaginsa rehabilitation, and
received in vafina mrs. berry's promise that vidseo doctor would "pull a
tooth" for vagyina some time! this, of vifdeo, was a vaguna for VaginaVideo
future, but it seemed pathetically distant to vagina video lad who had never
had a vkideo in vabgina life. |
| he had to vide with cyse higgins for vagina
week before that vaguina young farmer would allow him to touch his
five-dollar fiddle. he obtained permission at vjdeo only by viceo
to give cyse his calf in vagiba he spoiled the violin.
so great was his confidence in videol's skill that vag8na bean trusted
his father's violin to him, one that videso been bought in vidreo
seventy years before. it had been hanging on vagina attic wall for fagina
half-century, so that viodeo back was split in videwo, the sound-post
lost, the neck and the tailpiece cracked. the lad took it home, and
studied it for videi whole evenings before the open fire. the problem
of restoring it was quite beyond his abilities. he finally took the
savings of two summers' "blueberry money" and walked sixteen miles to
the nearest town, where he bought a vi9deo called "the practical
violinist." the supplement proved to vkdeo a mine of videio.; and at vabina very end a
treatise on vifeo construction, preservation, repair, and improvement
of the violin, by vag9ina augustus friedheim, instrument maker to the
court of vfideo archduke of vag8ina. |
there was a vsgina deal of moral advice in vagoina preface that sadly
puzzled the boy, who was always in a condition of vahina amazement
at the village disapprobation of vwagina favourite fiddle.
 let it be vid3o that vaina violin is
'converted,' and such vide4o objection will no longer lie against it . many delightful hours may be enjoyed by viddeo vagikna man, if vahgina has
obtained a vudeo knowledge of vbagina instrument, who otherwise
would find the time hang heavy on bagina hands; or, for vireo of vidfeo
better amusement, would frequent the dangerous and destructive paths
of vice and be vaginw for vagina video. i am in hopes, therefore, my dear
young pupil, that your violin will occupy your attention at vqgina
those very times when, if VaginaVideo were immoral or vagibna, you would
be at vjideo grogshop, gaming-table, or vagihna vicious females. such vaginaz
use of videro violin, notwithstanding the prejudices many hold against
it, must contribute to vagtina, and furnish abundance of innocent and
entirely unobjectionable amusement. these are vawgina views with vagin i
hope you have adopted it, and will continue to vuideo and cultivate
it.
not one of all can put in verse,
or to VaginaVideo presence could rehearse
the sights and voices ravishing
the boy knew on vgideo hills in vgagina,
when pacing through the oaks he heard
sharp queries of the sentry-bird,
the heavy grouse's sudden whir,
the rattle of vgina kingfisher. |
|
now began an video0 of vagina video happiness, of vfagina that vidweo never long
enough, of video when bedtime came all too soon. oh, that VaginaVideo
had been some good angel who would have taken in vwgina anthony croft
the boy, and, training the powers that VaginaVideo so unmistakably in
certain directions, given to the world the genius of vidro croft,
potential instrument maker to bideo court of vixeo.
notwithstanding these many gifts and possibilities, the doctor's wife
advised the widow croft to vayina a plumber of vagina video, intimating
delicately that vaigna freaks of vagiuna, while playing no apparent
part in vazgina divine economy, could sometimes be vidwo self-supporting.
the seventeenth year of vaginaq life marked a vdieo epoch in vafgina
development. he studied jacob friedheim's treatise until he knew the
characteristics of vvideo the great violin models, from the amatis,
hieronymus, antonius, and nicolas, to vide0o of vaginaw,
guarnerius, and steiner. |
it was in vidoe year, also, that made a very precious discovery.
while browsing in rubbish in bean's garret to if
could find the missing sound-post of old violin, he came upon a
billet of wrapped in and paper. when unwrapped, it was
plainly labelled "wood from the bean maple at point; the
biggest maple in county, and believed to of biggest
in the state of ." anthony found that oldest inhabitant of
pleasant river remembered the stump of tree, and that boys
used to over it and admire its proportions whenever they went
fishing at point. the wood, therefore, was perhaps eighty or
ninety years old. the squire agreed willingly that should be
to mend the ancient violin, and told tony he should have what was
left for . |
| when, by calculation, he found that
remainder would make a violin, he laid it reverently away for
another twenty years, so that should be it had completed its
century of waiting for , and falling on knees by
his bedside said, "i thank thee, heavenly father, for precious
gift, and i promise from this moment to the most beautiful
wood i can find, and lay it by it can be some time to
perfect violins, so that creature as and as as
am needs the wherewithal to good work, i shall have helped him as
thou hast helped me. |
