CENTO Series episode 80

So the Cricket quaffed his sherry; then with a loud chirp most merry,

I am searching on this evening, on an errand most demeaning---

By the grim and stern decorum of the countenance it wore;

Off he hopped from th' umbrella stand, and straight out my chamber door;

Out there jumped a big black Cricket, in length three inches or more!

Back into my chamber turning, my stomach within me churning,

Soon I heard that ghastly chirping, even louder than before.

To my liquor cabinet tripping, scarcely had I started sipping,

Again I heard a squeak come ripping through the air outside my door:

"'Tis some creditor," I muttered, "burping at my chamber door---

Only this, and nothing more."

• It is identified as Orchestrion model B, Ludwig Hupfeld A.-G., Leipzig, 1925

  • The Phonoliszt Violina was introduced in 1910 at the Universal Exhibition in Brussels, where it received much praise. To buy one yourself, you had to be wealthy. The instrument cost 8000 marks; A fortune in this day and age! In total, about ten thousand Hupfeld Violinas were built. They could be seen in restaurants, hotels and sometimes in people's homes. Some Violinas also provided the music for silent films in the cinema.
