Nobody ever thought much about his singing then except his motner. She used to stop her work to listen to him, and she was sure he would be great. No musicians, so far as he knew, were in the family before him, and his father positively disliked music of all kinds, so the mother’s belief. was laughed at, especially by the father, who never realised his son’s true greatness.
