[James Douglas moved to Torquay in 1872 and was still living there in 1910 when he wrote his memoir].

I often think of the very great pleasure it gave me when singing with my dear [son] Will at these Entertainments [in and around Torquay], my hand on his shoulder & my eyes quietly watching his dear little mouth as he seemed to sing from his very heart. Oh for those happy times again! I fancy even as I write these lines that I can see his face & hear his sweet voice when singin [sic] “Far away” with me. Thro’ the kindness of Mr Kelly (Curate) I got all my 4 Boys in S Luke’s Choir & I well remember dear Bertie & Will in their amateur Theatricals & Songs. I think Will’s singing as a Boy with me & Em’s “Annie Laurie” sung before we were married, carry me back to old times more than anything else.
