Nobody ever thought much about his singing then, except his mother, She used to stop her work to listen to him, and -she was sure he would be great. No musicians, so far as is known, .were in the family before him, and his father positively disliked music of all sorts; so the mother’s belief was laughed at, especially by the father.
