The whole house indeed seemed abandoned to merriment: as I passed to
my room to dress for dinner, I heard the sound of music in a small
court, and looking through a window that commanded it, I perceived a
band of wandering musicians, with pandean pipes and tambourine; a
pretty coquettish housemaid was dancing a jig with a smart country
lad, while several of the other servants were looking on. In the midst
of her sport the girl caught a glimpse of my face at the window,
and, coloring up, ran off with an air of roguish affected confusion.
