mind and hand are trained, not to do the 

 thing in a perfunctory way, but to do it in 

 the right way ; to do one thing after an 

 other because such is the necessary order 

 and relation, as the player upon a musical 

 instrument often does perfectly, without 

 looking, that which he would stumble over 

 horribly if he should try to follow, note by 

 note, as he did in the times which are past. 

 That which he has learned has become 

 embodied in his mental structure ; it is 

 now a part of his endowment, like the 

 faculty of breathing or walking without 

 thought of the process.
