This seemed too much to me and I said so to Harris: but he answered: "No, not at all. They deserve it, and I would go and sing comic songs on the ruins of the house."
I was very troubled to hear Harris say such horrible things. I was finally able to convince Harris not to kill the friends and relations, and not to sing comic songs on the ruins.
If you knew how badly Harris sings comic songs you would understand the service I had done. Harris thinks that he can sing a comic song and never will be able to, and that he should not even be allowed to try to sing a comic song.
Speaking of comic songs, I remember a rather curious incident which I think should be recorded in these pages.
