And, finally, I secured a wedge which has opened to me more doors and made me a welcome guest than my playing of Beethoven and Chopin could ever have done. The greater part of the money I now began to earn came through the friend to whom I alluded in the foregoing paragraph. He was clean shaven, had regular features, and all of his movements bore the indefinable but unmistakable stamp of culture.
He spoke to no one, but sat languidly puffing cigarettes and sipping a glass of beer. He was the center of a great deal of attention, all of the old timers were wondering who he was. When I had finished playing he called a waiter and by him sent me a five dollar bill. One night he sent for me to come to his table; he asked me several questions about myself; then told me that he had an engagement which he wanted me to fill. He gave me a card containing his address and asked me to be there on a certain night.
I was on hand promptly, and found that he was giving a dinner in his own apartments to a party of ladies and gentlemen, and that I was expected to furnish the musical entertainment. When my eyes were adjusted to the soft light I saw that I was in the midst of elegance and luxury in such a degree as I had never seen; but not the elegance which makes one ill at ease.
As I sank into a great chair the subdued tone, the delicately sensuous harmony of my surroundings drew from me a deep sigh of relief and comfort. I had been asleep; and I awoke very much confused and a little ashamed, because I did not know how many times he may have called me. I followed him through into the dining-room, where the butler was putting the finishing touches to a table which already looked like a big jewel.
The doorman turned me over to the butler, and I passed with the butler on back to where several waiters were busy polishing and assorting table utensils. Without being asked whether I was hungry or not, I was placed at a table and given something to eat. Before I had finished eating I heard the laughter and talk of the guests who were arriving.
Soon afterwards I was called in to begin my work. I passed in to where the company was gathered, and went directly to the piano. According to a suggestion from the host I began with classic music.
During the first number there was absolute quiet and appreciative attention, and when I had finished I was given a round of generous applause. After that the talk and the laughter began to grow until the music was only an accompaniment to the chatter. This, however, did not disconcert me as it once would have done, for I had become accustomed to playing in the midst of uproarious noise. As the guests began to pay less attention to me I was enabled to pay more to them.
There were about a dozen of them. Several of the women smoked cigarettes, and with a careless grace which showed they were used to the habit. The most notable thing which I observed was that the reserve of the host increased in direct proportion with the hilarity of his guests. I thought that there was something going wrong which displeased him.
I afterwards learned that it was his habitual manner on such occasions. He seemed to take cynical delight in watching and studying others indulging in excess. His guests were evidently accustomed to his rather non-participating attitude, for it did not seem in any degree to dampen their spirits.
When dinner was served the piano was moved and the door left open, so that the company might hear the music while eating. At a word from the host I struck up one of my liveliest ragtime pieces. The effect was perhaps surprising, even to the host; the ragtime music came very near spoiling the party so far as eating the dinner was concerned.
As soon as I began the conversation stopped suddenly. It was a pleasure to me to watch the expression of astonishment and delight that grew on the faces of everybody. These were people,--and they represented a large class,--who were ever expecting to find happiness in novelty, each day restlessly exploring and exhausting every resource of this great city that might possibly furnish a new sensation or awaken a fresh emotion, and who were always grateful to anyone who aided them in their quest.
Several of the women left the table and gathered about the piano. They watched my fingers, asked what kind of music it was that I was playing, where I had learned it and a host of other questions. It was only by being repeatedly called back to the table that they were induced to finish their dinner.
From that time on until the time of leaving they kept me so busy that my arms ached. He told me that he would give me lots of work, his only stipulation being that I should not play any engagements such as I had just filled for him, except by his instructions.
I readily accepted the proposition, for I was sure that I could not be the loser by such a contract. I afterwards played for him at many dinners and parties of one kind or another. The friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away. You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
Good friends help you to find important things when you have lost them…your smile, your hope, and your courage. Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.
If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give. Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny.
I have no notion of loving people by halves; it is not my nature. A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute. He may not seem such a good friend after telling. Fight for you. Respect you. Include you. Encourage you. Need you. Deserve you. Stand by you. I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy.
Do not save your loving speeches for your friends till they are dead; do not write them on their tombstones, speak them rather now instead. Friends are like walls. The only good thing about times of adversity is that you realize who your real friends and fans are — and the rest go away — which in my mind is an OK thing. I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.
Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up. I think about my best friendship — which the Marnie-Hannah friendship in Girls is based on — as like a great romance of my young life. She is always straight with me and can make me laugh hysterically. Everyone should have someone like that in their life. That was the thing about best friends. Like sisters and mothers, they could piss you off and make you cry and break your heart, but in the end, when the chips were down, they were there, making you laugh even in your darkest hours.
You can describe them with memories that you had with them. A bosom friend an intimate friend, you know a really kindred spirit to whom I can confide my inmost soul. That my feelings are true. I really love you. The biggest ingredient in a best friend is someone whose actions you respect and who you can truly be yourself around.
Best friend: someone you can only stay mad at for so long because you have important things to talk about. You can trust them, with anything and everything. Best friends share tears and laughs, almost like their emotions are intertwined. Most importantly, you can always count on a best friend. Best friends? Well, I guess you could call us that but I think we are more like sisters. You can always tell when two people are best friends because they are having more fun than it makes sense for them to be having.
You have to keep working at it. Democracy, marriage, friendship. Yesterday brought the beginning, tomorrow brings the end, and somewhere in the middle we became the best of friends. Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down. A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
