Immediately I got up and dressed, I stuck my violin under my jacket and went out into the streets to try my 1 . I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely 2 , feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I _3 at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.

I felt tense and _4 . It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from under the jacket like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling over head, that I was about to 5 myself. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the 6 before me, the violin under my chin.

The first notes I played were loud and raw, like a declaration of protest, then they settled down and began to run more _7 and to stay more or less in tune. To my 8 , I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any 9 at all. Then an old man, without stopping at all, dropped a penny into my  10 as though getting rid of some guilty evidence

I worked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually acquiring the truth of the  11 by trial and error. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money—the sight could _12 a kind-hearted man; nor was it wise to 13 it completely, which could also confuse him, giving him no hint as to where to _14 his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a 15  practice and I made sure, between tunes, to take off the cream, but always leaving two 16 behind.

Old _17 were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls and barmaids. As for men, heavy drinkers were always receptive and so were big guys with muscles. But_18 a man with an expensive hat, briefcase or dog; respectable types were the least _19 of all. Except for retired any officers, who would shout "Why aren't you 20 , young mad?" and then would over-tip to cover up their confusion.
