Murmurs of delight and anxiety to join in the chorus. Brilliant performance of prelude to the Judge’s song in Trial by Jury by nervous Pianist. Moment arrives for Harris to join in. Harris takes no notice of it. Nervous pianist commences prelude over again, and Harris, commencing singing at the same time, dashes off the first two lines of the First Lord’s song out of Pinafore . Nervous pianist tries to push on with prelude, gives it up, and tries to follow Harris with accompaniment to Judge’s song out of Trial by Jury , finds that doesn’t answer, and tries to recollect what he is doing, and where he is, feels his mind giving way, and stops short.

With kindly encouragement. “It’s all right. You’re doing it very well, indeed⁠—go on.”

“I’m afraid there’s a mistake somewhere. What are you singing?”
