The two-and three-part contrapuntal singing which is done in the sight-singing classes is admirable for this, as the whole effect is blurred or entirely spoilt in such clear-cut work by a false entry. For all large school functions, such as a prize-giving, the songs should be sung by heart.
Povey and Constance had quite accustomed themselves to being the parents of 'a great lad, before Cyril had broken the glass of his miraculous watch more than once, the summer term had come to a end and there arrived the excitations of the prize-giving, as it was called; for at that epoch the smaller schools had not found the effrontery to dub the breaking-up ceremony a 'speech-day. This prize-giving furnished a particular joy to Mr. and Mrs.

The town, the books, the people, the streets, the hum of business, the opening gates of knowledge, pleased and contented his insatiable young spirit. The father had the reward of his daring. George did famously and became in time Captain of the School. The farmer attended prize-giving, and watched his son march up to the table time after time amidst the cheers of his school-fellows.
But no! And so they carried Henry to bed. At six the martyr uneasily dozed. 'He may sleep a couple of hours, Aunt Annie whispered. Not one of the three had honestly and openly withdrawn from the position that Henry would be able to go to the prize-giving.
