It
was
a
long
while
before
I
could
get
Harris
to
take
a
more
Christian
view
of
the
subject
,
but
I
succeeded
at
last
,
and
he
promised
me
that
he
would
spare
the
friends
and
relations
at
all
events
,
and
would
not
sing
comic
songs
on
the
ruins
.
512
You
have
never
heard
Harris
sing
a
comic
song
,
or
you
would
understand
the
service
I
had
rendered
to
mankind
.
It
is
one
of
Harris
's
fixed
ideas
that
he
can
sing
a
comic
song
;
the
fixed
idea
,
on
the
contrary
,
among
those
of
Harris
's
friends
who
have
heard
him
try
,
is
that
he
ca
n't
and
never
will
be
able
to
,
and
that
he
ought
not
to
be
allowed
to
try
.
513
When
Harris
is
at
a
party
,
and
is
asked
to
sing
,
he
replies
:
"
Well
,
I
can
only
sing
a
comic
song
,
you
know
;
"
and
he
says
it
in
a
tone
that
implies
that
his
singing
of
that
,
however
,
is
a
thing
that
you
ought
to
hear
once
,
and
then
die
.

"
Oh
,
that
is
nice
,
"
says
the
hostess
.
"
Do
sing
one
,
Mr.
Harris
;
"
and
Harris
gets
up
,
and
makes
for
the
piano
,
with
the
beaming
cheeriness
of
a
generous-minded
man
who
is
just
about
to
give
somebody
something
.
515
"
Now
,
silence
,
please
,
everybody
"
says
the
hostess
,
turning
round
;
"
Mr.
Harris
is
going
to
sing
a
comic
song
!
"
516
"
Oh
,
how
jolly
!
"
they
murmur
;
and
they
hurry
in
from
the
conservatory
,
and
come
up
from
the
stairs
,
and
go
and
fetch
each
other
from
all
over
the
house
,
and
crowd
into
the
drawing-room
,
and
sit
round
,
all
smirking
in
anticipation
.
517
Then
Harris
begins
.

Well
,
you
do
n't
look
for
much
of
a
voice
in
a
comic
song
.
You
do
n't
expect
correct
phrasing
or
vocalization
.
519
You
do
n't
mind
if
a
man
does
find
out
,
when
in
the
middle
of
a
note
,
that
he
is
too
high
,
and
comes
down
with
a
jerk
.
You
do
n't
bother
about
time
.
You
do
n't
mind
a
man
being
two
bars
in
front
of
the
accompaniment
,
and
easing
up
in
the
middle
of
a
line
to
argue
it
out
with
the
pianist
,
and
then
starting
the
verse
afresh
.
But
you
do
expect
the
words
.
520
You
do
n't
expect
a
man
to
never
remember
more
than
the
first
three
lines
of
the
first
verse
,
and
to
keep
on
repeating
these
until
it
is
time
to
begin
the
chorus
.
You
do
n't
expect
a
man
to
break
off
in
the
middle
of
a
line
,
and
snigger
,
and
say
,
it
's
very
funny
,
but
he
's
blest
if
he
can
think
of
the
rest
of
it
,
and
then
try
and
make
it
up
for
himself
,
and
,
afterwards
,
suddenly
recollect
it
,
when
he
has
got
to
an
entirely
different
part
of
the
song
,
and
break
off
,
without
a
word
of
warning
,
to
go
back
and
let
you
have
it
then
and
there
.
You
do
n't
--
well
,
I
will
just
give
you
an
idea
of
Harris
's
comic
singing
,
and
then
you
can
judge
of
it
for
yourself
.
