Yesterday he had not liked it very well ; but now -- nothing mattered now . And with a satisfied sigh David put his precious gold away again behind the books in the cupboard . David found a new song in his violin the next morning . To be sure , he could not play it -- much of it -- until four o'clock in the afternoon came ; for Mr. Holly did not like violins to be played in the morning , even on days that were not especially the Lord 's . There was too much work to do . So David could only snatch a strain or two very , very softly , while he was dressing ; but that was enough to show him what a beautiful song it was going to be . He knew what it was , at once , too .
