'He called to the coachman to stop', (1907). The young Handel runs after his father's carriage: Handel did not know then that no fewer than forty miles lay between his home and the ducal castle, but...running behind the closed carriage, he did his best to keep pace with it. The roads were long and muddy, and...the child's strength began at last to fail, and, fearing that he would be left behind, he called to the coachman to stop. At the sound of the boy's voice his father thrust his head out of the window, and...a glance at the poor little bedraggled figure in the road, with its pleading face, melted the surgeon's heart. They were at too great a distance from home to turn back, and so Handel was lifted into the carriage...' From "Story-Lives of Great Musicians", by F.J. Rowbotham. [Wells Gardner, Darton & Co. Ltd, London, 1907]
