2 The victim was Tamoszius Kuszleika, who played the violin.
3 But the sight of sights at this moment is Tamoszius Kuszleika.
4 Warming to the subject, Tamoszius went on to explain the situation.
5 The old fiddle squeaks and shrieks in protest, but Tamoszius has no mercy.
6 For they are hardly worthy of Tamoszius, the other two members of the orchestra.
7 Finally all three are gathered at the foot of the tables, and there Tamoszius mounts upon a stool.
8 When Tamoszius and his companions stop for a rest, as perforce they must, now and then, the dancers halt where they are and wait patiently.
9 In the excitement of this masterpiece Tamoszius Kuszleika begins to edge in between the tables, making his way toward the head, where sits the bride.
10 When in the end Tamoszius Kuszleika has reached her side, and is waving his magic wand above her, Ona's cheeks are scarlet, and she looks as if she would have to get up and run away.
