Music
Dramatis Personæ: Major C.; a miner; and a common cord. The dominant personality of the Major resolves the miner into such a dire state that he needs a dire tonic. In less than a diminished second his whole tone is raised. (Double sharp work, what?) He takes a breve rest, quavering with a minimum of divergent emotion in the effort to be natural. Eheu fugue asses! They nearly forte, but the discord was inverted by the Major’s apologiatura, which was as handsomely chromatic as his socks.
