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  38  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 obtaining 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 most of the earnings, 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 willing listeners 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 army officers, who would shout "Why aren't you  55 , young man?" and then would over-tip to cover up their confusion.
