Excerpt from The Leaden Casket a Novel, Vol. 1 of 3

His vantage-ground of five or six steps of elevation above the roadway enabled him to see an Italian organ-grinder, who was at one moment gesticulating wildly, and calling upon heaven, earth, and all around to witness that he had a right either to make music, or be paid to leave off; the next, playing a few frantic snatches of the street melody of the day; then stopping to gesticulate once more, and again dashing at the implement of music and whirling round the handle to prove that he meant to maintain his rights. But with whom was he disputing? - for all the dingy little knot of bystanders looked either stolidly indifferent, or merrily amused. Whilst Dr. Brooke was asking himself this, and watching the angry Italian, the dense crowd broke asunder, and then the second party in the dispute was made visible. This was an energetic, bright-eyed, and handsome little girl of eight; but that was not all, for she was Dr. Bichard Brooke's own niece.
