He struck several bars in succession and was enraptured to find that they produced a sort of veiled silvery music. “Sounds like the moon looks when you carnt see it fer clouds,” he mused, “Mar thinks I’d make a moosican, mebbe she’s right.”,“Uncle Isaac has no further need of anything,” said Mother. “He died last night, little John.”,"Ask de great massa."，“Here, you men, down stream a bit with that timber.
