Janet Andrews gave them a good scolding and an excellent breakfast . Then she ordered them both to bed ; but Mr. Leonard , smiling at her , said : `` Presently , Janet , presently . But now , take this key , go up to the black chest in the garret , and bring me what you will find there . '' When Janet had gone , he turned to Felix . `` Felix , would you like to study music as your life-work ? '' Felix looked up , with a transfiguring flush on his wan face . `` Oh , grandfather ! Oh , grandfather ! '' `` You may do so , my child . After this night I dare not hinder you . Go with my blessing , and may God guide and keep you , and make you strong to do His work and tell His message to humanity in you own appointed way . It is not the way I desired for you -- but I see that I was mistaken . Old Abel spoke truly when he said there was a Christ in your violin as well as a devil . I understand what he meant now . '' He turned to meet Janet , who came into the study with a violin . Felix 's heart throbbed ; he recognized it . Mr. Leonard took it from Janet and held it out to the boy . `` This is your father 's violin , Felix . See to it that you never make your music the servant of the power of evil -- never debase it to unworthy ends . For your responsibility is as your gift , and God will exact the accounting of it from you .
Speak to the world in your own tongue through it , with truth and sincerity ; and all I have hoped XXXXX you will be abundantly fulfilled . ''
