`` No , I do n't make it -- it makes itself -- it just comes , '' said Ted , a dreamy gaze coming into his big black eyes . The caller looked at him closely . `` I know a little about music myself , '' he said . `` My name is Blair Milford and I am a professional violinist . Your playing is wonderful . What is your name ? '' `` Ted Melvin . '' `` Well , Ted , I think that you have a great talent , and it ought to be cultivated . You should have competent instruction . Come , you must tell me all about yourself . '' Ted told what little he thought there was to tell . Blair Milford listened and nodded , guessing much that Ted did n't tell and , indeed , did n't know himself . Then he made Ted play for him again . `` Amazing ! '' he said softly , under his breath . Finally he took the violin and played himself . Ted and Jimmy listened breathlessly . `` Oh , if I could only play like that ! '' said Ted wistfully . Blair Milford smiled .
`` You will XXXXX much better some day if you get the proper training , '' he said .
