There was in the conservatory in the Lombard city a man of middle life and of some wealth, a tenor. He had been studying for years with that grand heroism that you find in aspirants who have never contrived to sing a decent note. No manager, even of the smallest company, would give him. a debut. In the Spring a number of students held a confabulation at the end of which they went to the tenor, told him that the managers were conspiring against him, and that they, his friends, were going to get up a performance...
