The Aged Male Nobility
The aged male nobility whose apellation reminds one of a bitumen-containing
mineral principally composed of carbon was a jolly sort of a personality; I
repeat, a jolly sort of personality was the aged male nobility. He commanded
to be brought before him three entirely different classes of entity: First, he
summoned to be brought an instrument (composed of a roughly hemispherical
container at one end and a mouthpiece at the opposite end) through which
carbonaceous matter and noxious fumes resulting from the incomplete combustion
of dried vegetation could be inhaled. (Presumably, he was unaware, or at
least apathetic, of the havoc this would wreak in his respiratory system.)
Second, he summoned a concave dish-shaped vessel, wider than deep, probably
for containing some sort of foodstuff. And lastly, a trio of violinists (the
hoedown variety) to play for his enjoyment.
Each violinist of the trio used his own violin, and each was an instrument in
excellant condition. Ah, nowhere in the universe are there hoedown-type
violinists as distinctive and marked by unusual quality, merit or appeal as
the aforementioned aged male nobility and his trio of musicians.
