MR.CHUPES' MUSICAL ATTAINMENTS 



know that he has attired himself in his best 

 clothes, and that he is using his most per- 

 suasive eloquence in the attempt to win 

 the little lady of his choice. 



One of the motifs in which Chupes ap- 

 peared to take unalloyed delight, a theme 

 on which he played endless variations, was 

 interpreted by an admiring friend as: I like 

 it here. I like it here; like it; like it; like it; 

 like it; here, here, here, here, here; and so 

 on indefinitely; the " like " being always 

 strongly emphasized. 

 I Like it Here 



Portamento. Port. 



I like it here, I like it here, 



fort. 

 I like 



it here, I like it, like 





it, like it, here, here, here.
