Summary

Some people can read romance in everything a degree removed from the commonplace, but in the story of Harry Lauder's life unfolded in these pages there is very little of the romantic as the word is generally under stood. Here indeed, there is always more of fight than of favour, a deal more of pluck than of luck. Certainly Lauder's genius was ever-present, making fame and fortune possible to him, but how many geniuses succumb in the struggle, lacking the essential quality of determination, and die, un known and unsung? Harry Lauder is, I repeat, a genius, but he has nursed and fostered his natural endowments until to-day he is hailed wherever he goes as the outstanding figure in the profession which he adorns.
