Question

I did try, but was presently swept off the stool and denominated "a little bungler." Being pushed unceremoniously to one side--which was precisely what I wished--he usurped my place, and proceeded to accompany himself: for he could play as well as sing.

Accepted Answer

Megpróbáltam, de rögtön lesöpört a zongoraszékről, "kis kontár"-nak nevezett, s miután udvariatlanul félretolt - ez volt az, amire áhítoztam -, elfoglalta helyemet, és ő játszotta a kíséretet, mert zongorázni éppen úgy tudott, mint énekelni.
