Harris
said
he
would
rather
have
the
headache
.
George
has
never
learned
to
play
the
banjo
to
this
day
.
He
has
had
too
much
all-round
discouragement
to
meet
.
He
tried
on
two
or
three
evenings
,
while
we
were
up
the
river
,
to
get
a
little
practice
,
but
it
was
never
a
success
.
Harris
's
language
used
to
be
enough
to
unnerve
any
man
;
added
to
which
,
Montmorency
would
sit
and
howl
steadily
,
right
through
the
performance
.
It
was
not
giving
the
man
a
fair
chance
.
"
What
's
he
want
to
howl
like
that
for
when
I
'm
playing
?
"
George
would
exclaim
indignantly
,
while
taking
aim
at
him
with
a
boot
.
"
What
do
you
want
to
play
like
that
for
when
he
is
howling
?
"
Harris
would
retort
,
catching
the
boot
.
"
You
let
him
alone
.
He
ca
n't
help
howling
.
He
's
got
a
musical
ear
,
and
your
playing
makes
him
howl
.
"
So
George
determined
to
postpone
study
of
the
banjo
until
he
reached
home
.
But
he
did
not
get
much
opportunity
even
there
.
Mrs.
P.
used
to
come
up
and
say
she
was
very
sorry
--
for
herself
,
she
liked
to
hear
him
--
but
the
lady
upstairs
was
in
a
very
delicate
state
,
and
the
doctor
was
afraid
it
might
injure
the
child
.
Then
George
tried
taking
it
out
with
him
late
at
night
,
and
practising
round
the
square
.
But
the
inhabitants
complained
to
the
police
about
it
,
and
a
watch
was
set
for
him
one
night
,
and
he
was
captured
.
The
evidence
against
him
was
very
clear
,
and
he
was
bound
over
to
keep
the
peace
for
six
months
.
He
seemed
to
lose
heart
in
the
business
after
that
.
He
did
make
one
or
two
feeble
efforts
to
take
up
the
work
again
when
the
six
months
had
elapsed
,
but
there
was
always
the
same
coldness
--
the
same
want
of
sympathy
on
the
part
of
the
world
to
fight
against
;
and
,
after
awhile
,
he
despaired
altogether
,
and
advertised
the
instrument
for
sale
at
a
great
sacrifice
--
"
owner
having
no
further
use
for
same
"
--
and
took
to
learning
card
tricks
instead
.
It
must
be
disheartening
work
learning
a
musical
instrument
.
You
would
think
that
Society
,
for
its
own
sake
,
would
do
all
it
could
to
assist
a
man
to
acquire
the
art
of
playing
a
musical
instrument
.
But
it
does
n't
!
I
knew
a
young
fellow
once
,
who
was
studying
to
play
the
bagpipes
,
and
you
would
be
surprised
at
the
amount
of
opposition
he
had
to
contend
with
.
Why
,
not
even
from
the
members
of
his
own
family
did
he
receive
what
you
could
call
active
encouragement
.
His
father
was
dead
against
the
business
from
the
beginning
,
and
spoke
quite
unfeelingly
on
the
subject
.
