...bordello as a teen-age boy to learn the facts of life, which so flustered the sensitive lad that he flunked the course. Papa had been the iron duke, so imperious that he threatened to have his manservant buried with him when he died, "at my feet, of course." By contrast, poor Armand is such an average Jean that chauffeurs, spotting him near the Daimler, ask him whom he drives for. Can this shy, sweet and sad duke ever find Miss Right?

With eyes closed, and the fat fiddle hugged to his paunch, he looks more like a village baker dozing over a sack of meal than any possible kind of artist. But then he begins to play. Sudden, full, supple, the big contralto of the cello speaks. The music rushes like a river from a cave. And soon the audience may become aware of a peculiar thing.
