"Oh, hush!" said Anne; "Dulcimer hasn't done yet."
Assuming an attitude, Dulcimer turned and sang to one of his associates in the quartet,—
"Oh, I see two stars arising,
Up in de shady skies!"
To which the other responded, with animation:—
"No, boy, you are mistaken;
'Tis de light of her fair eyes!"
"That's thorough, at any rate!" said Russel. While Dulcimer went on:—
"Oh, I see two roses blowing,
Togeder on one bed!"
