Metaphor in Context
Several of the neighbouring gentlemen, he told us, are performers; and he hopes to engage them as opportunities [Page 25] shall offer. My dear Dr. Bartlett, said he, your soul is harmony: I doubt not but all these are in order--"May I ask you, my Harriet?" pointing to the harpsichord. I instantly sat down to it. It is a fine instrument. Lord G. took up a violin; Lord L. a German flute; Mr. Deane a bass-viol[image]; and we had a little concert of about half an hour.
