HE WANTED IT LIVELY.
‘ls it pretty lively here T asked an old bachelor looking for board, as the landlady was showing him about. ‘ I should say it was. Now if you take this room there’s a man and his wife on the right. They 're always quarrelling, and you can hear every word that is said.’ • That must be interesting.’ ‘ And on the left there’s a young man that is learing to play the cornet. He practices half the time. And the family across the hall nave a melodeon. I have a piano myself, and a girl upstairs is learning the violin. I think you will find it lively here.’ But he said if there wasn’t a xylophone and a calliope in the house he wouldn’t take the room. He was afraid he would be lonesome.
