The Clovest Little Mastician and the Duke of Guire
A fragmented 19th century tale follows Baptiste Lalli a poor orphan with a gift for music. Tempted by a gold coin from the Duke of Guire he resists theft, earns a violin by improvising saucers into tuneful percussion, and charms the Duke who then places him with Madame Moiselle. Tutor Michael Lambert mentors him as his talent grows, eventually making Baptiste a celebrated violinist and composer who rises to lead the king’s band and teaches at the Naval Academy.

When breathing resumes, transfer to care promptly and avoid delays for a physician if aid is at hand.
