Every nicht I'd auction off a copy to the highest bidder--the money tae gae tae the puir wounded laddies in Scotland.

A copy went for five thousand dollars ane nicht in New York! That was a grand occasion, I'm tellin' ye.

It was in the Metropolitan Opera Hoose, that great theatre where Caruso and Melba and a' the stars of the opera ha' sung sae often.

Aye, Harry Lauder had sung there tae--sung there that nicht! The hoose was fu', and I made my talk.
And then I held up my book, "A Minstrel in France." I asked that they should buy a copy.

The bidding started low.
