> Upon further listening to one of the cylinders from the 1890s Moriarity
> cache, I hear Thomas Edison being introduced, probably by himself in a
> higher voice. He is instructed that there is no need to speak above a
> whisper because the new diaphragm is extremely sensitive.  He then recites 
> a
> few lines of Shakespeare ("The quality of mercy is not strained...") and
> then Mary Had a Little Lamb. The cylinder goes quiet for a while until
> Edison is heard singing about four lines from a song with the word "divine"
> in it, there is then some laughter and the cylinder ends.
>
>   I will listen further to try and make out the words of the song.
