And Zouzou and Dodor complimented him so profusely on his French accent that he was with difficulty prevented from singing it all over again.
Then everybody sang in rotation.
The Laird, with a capital barytone, sang
"Hie diddle Dee for the Lowlands low,"

Little Billee sang "Little Billee."
Vincent sang
"Old Joe kicking up behind and afore.
And the yaller gal a-kicking up behind old Joe."
A capital song, with words of quite a masterly scansion.
