THE ONLY ONE LEFT
It is said of Paderewski that. just before one of his recitals in Boston he was accosted by an old lady in the entrance-hall, who said to him; ‘ Oh, Mr. Paderewski, X am so glad to see you ! I have tried in vain to purchase a ticket. Have you a seat you could let me have?’ . ‘ Madam/ said the great pianist, ‘ there is but one ; seat at my disposal, and that you are welcome to if you .think fit to take it.’ ‘Yes, yes, and a thousand thanks! Where is it?' 'was the excited reply. ‘ At the piano!’ replied Paderewski.
