Immediately I got up and dressed, I stuck my violin under my jacket and went out into the streets to try my 36 ．I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely 37 , feeling as though I were about to commit a crime． Then I _3 8 　at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try．

I felt tense and _39 ． 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 overhead, that I was about to 40 myself． One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the 41 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 _42 and to stay more or less in tune． To my 43 ,I was neither arrested nor told to shut up． Indeed, nobody took any 44 at all． Then an old man, without stopping at all, dropped a penny into my 　 45 as though getting rid of some guilty evidence

I worked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually acquiring the truth of the　 46 by trial and error． It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money-the sight could _47 　 a kind-hearted man; nor was it wise to 48 it completely, which could also confuse him, giving him no hint as to where to _49 　his money． Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a 50 practice and I made sure, between tunes, to take off the cream, but always leaving two 51 behind．

Old _52 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 _53 a man with an expensive hat, briefcase or dog; respectable types were the least _54 of all． Except for retired any officers, who would shout "Why aren't you 55 ,young mad?" and then would over-tip to cover up their confusion．
