“Went to an extra C. M. A. rehearsal for orchestra & principals—called at Steinway, 9 a.m., by Pech, without the slightest authority. It will cost our depleted treasury $150.00. I could not enjoy it, by reason of the 10.000 lb. weight of moral pig lead that has lain of late on the pit of my stomach, paralyzing & depressing me beyond expression. How enviable is the lot of an honest healthy-minded eupeptic hod-carrier!”
