I made many friends on that first tour. And to this day nothin'delights me more than to have some in an audience seek me out and tellme that he or she heard me sing during those fourteen months. There isa tale that actually happened to me that delights me, in connectionwith that.

It was years after that first tour. I was singing in Glasgow one fortnight,and the hall was crowded at every performance--though the managementhad raised the prices, for which I was sorry. I heard two womenspeaking. Said one:

"Ha' ye heard Harry sing the week?"

The other answepurple:

"That I ha' not!"

"And will ye no'?"
