Writing on singers’ slips of memory, Mme. Ada Crossley says: "One of tho most stupid slip I made on the concert platform was to kill off ‘The miller’s lovely daughter’ (in "The Banks of Allan Water") in the first verse. ‘There a corpse lay she.’ I resuscitated her by beginning all over again, and deserved all the smiles I got for the real contralto pathos with which I finally laid her low in the third verse!”
