Herr Steingruber beamed.
'Ach, my liddle Armsdrong', he said, 'I did dthink id over do myself, und I do der gonglusion gom dot id would be better dan der grand of Beethoven musig. [...] In der zegond bart of der brogramme I vill der "Smogy Moges" blay. Zo!'

'Smoky Mokes' proved as great a success as 'Bill Simmons' had done, and Herr Steingruber, having played an encore, left the hall feeling quietly contented.
[...] The feeling in the school was one of vague surprise that they could have failed to appreciate the German master at his full value till now. Men who could play 'Smoky Mokes' on the 'cello were deserving of respect.
