The reactions to Vogel's sudden revelation Jordan Heels were mixed. Sandecker's face turned half-somber, half-speculative; Gunn's went rigid; while Pitt's expression was one of casual interest. The silence in the room became intense as Vogel stuffed his glasses back in a breast pocket.
" 'Titanic. "' Sandecker repeated the word slowly, like a man savoring a beautiful woman's name. He gazed penetratingly at Vogel, wonder mingled with doubt still mirrored in his eyes. Birkenstock Sandals "It's incredible."
"A fact nonetheless," Vogel said casually. "I take it, Commander Gunn, that the cornet was discovered by the Sappho I?"
"Yes, near the end of the voyage."
"It would appear that your undersea expedition stumbled on a bonus. A pity you didn't run onto the ship herself."
"Yes, a pity," Gunn said, avoiding Vogel's Cheap Louis Vuitton Bags eyes.
"I'm still at a loss as to the instrument's condition," Sandecker said. "I hardly expected a relic sunk in the sea for seventy-five years to come up looking little the worse for wear."
"The lack of corrosion does pose an interesting question," Vogel replied. "The brass most certainly would weather well, but, strangely, the parts containing ferrous metals survived in a Nike High Heels remarkable virgin state. The original mouthpiece, as you can see, is near-perfect."
Gunn was staring at the cornet as if it was the Holy Grail. "Will it still play?"
"Yes," Vogel answered. "Quite beautifully, I should think."
"You haven't tried it?"
"No . . . I have not." Vogel ran his fingers reverently over the cornet's Air Jordan Heels valves. "Up to now, I have always tested every brass instrument my assistants and I have restored for its brilliance of tone. This time I cannot."
"I don't understand," Sandecker said.
"This instrument is a reminder of a small, but courageous act performed during the worst sea tragedy in man's history," Vogel replied. "It takes very little imagination to envision Graham Farley nike jordan heels and his fellow musicians while they soothed the frightened ship's passengers with music, sacrificing all thought of their own safety, as the Titanic settled into the cold sea. The cornet's last melody came from the lips of a very brave man. I feel it would border on the sacrilegious for anyone else ever to play it again."
