Recently, while dipping into "Hapworth", I came across Seymour directly
addressing Les about Les and Bessie's upcoming recording of a song,
"Bambalina":
"If you can possibly do it without unhappiness, excessive strain, or the
feeling that you are slighting or offending the decent, charming Australian
people of your childhood, please keep your accent off the record, even
though we, your relatives, enjoy it to the very hilt!"
(Bessie, of course, is Irish--"ever since she [Bessie] was a child in Dublin
and her twin sister succumbed, backstage, of galloping
undernutrition...." --"Seymour: an Intro.")
