“Yes, S’Richard, and whistling, and fiddling, and blowing trombones.”
“Exactly; that is all connected with vibration.”
“Oh, is it, sir? I s’pose you’re right; but then there’s pyanners, sir, and orgins, sir, street and otherwise!”
“Exactly, Jerry,” said the young student drily. “There, I’m busy now; I’ll remember what you said, and, if I can have you with me, I will.”
