fact that the missionaries did not "go out into the

never deviating from the severity of art to draw
out the public plaudits by tricks of captrap which
he had dexterity enough to do if he had chosen.
On those occasions Jenny, who was not on the

in her private box and clap her hands vigorously in
sight of the audience, who by no means seemed to
share her admiration for the pianist. However,
she understood his merits great deal better than
they did.
