СКАЧАТЬ Th' lecturer said he were sure it would just suit me, and I should do justice to it; and I should be right sorry to disappoint him, he were so nice and encouraging like to me. Eh! Mary, what a pity there isn't more o' that way, and less scolding and rating i' th' world! It would go a vast deal further. Beside, some o' th' singers said they were a'most certain it were a song o' his own, because he were so fidgetty and particular about it, and so anxious I should give it th' proper expression. And that makes me care still more. Th' first verse, he said, were to be sung 'tenderly, but joyously!' I'm afraid I don't quite hit that, but I'll try.

      'What a single word can do!

       Thrilling all the heart-strings through,

       Calling forth fond memories,

       Raining round hope's melodies,

       Steeping all in one bright hue—

       What a single word can do!'

      Now it falls into th' minor key, and must be very sad like. I feel as if I could do that better than t'other.

      'What a single word can do!

       Making life seem all untrue,

       Driving joy and hope away,

       Leaving not one cheering ray

       Blighting every flower that grew—

       What a single word can do!'"

      Margaret certainly made the most of this little song. As a factory worker, listening outside, observed, "She spun it reet27 fine!" And if she only sang it at the Mechanics' with half the feeling she put into it that night, the lecturer must have been hard to please, if he did not admit that his expectations were more than fulfilled.

      When it was ended, Mary's looks told more than words could have done what she thought of it; and partly to keep in a tear which would fain have rolled out, she brightened into a laugh, and said, "For certain, th' carriage is coming. So let us go and dream on it."
