The author writes quite humorously, when he

Gallon (Tom), Memory Corner, 6/ John Long
An attractive story of two elderly maiden
ladies and a pretty adopted daughter, into
whose quiet lives bursts, with the suddenness
of a summer storm, a great musical genius,
a man without principle and without balance,
but with a wonderful power of fascination.
His incalculable self-assurance, his wild theories
and schernes, his sonorous phraseology, are
all portrayed with humour, while the meteoric
career of the youthful prodigy he has fostered
adds to the impression of the general instability
of genius.
