There are three old maids of Lee,
And they are old as old can be;
And one is deaf, and one can't see,
And they all are cross as a gallows tree,
These three old maids of Lee.
Now, if any one chanced--'tis a chance remote--
One single charm in these maids to note,
He need not a poet nor handsome be,
For one is deaf, and one can't see;
He need not woo on his bended knee,
For they all are willing as willing can be;
He may take the one or the two or the three,
If he'll only take them away from Lee.
There are three old maids at Lee,
And they are cross as cross can be;
And there they are, and there they'll be,
To the end of the chapter, one, two, three,
These three old maids of Lee!


"THE DAY OF JUDGMENT"[66]
ELIZABETH STUART PHELPS

I am thirteen years old and Jill is eleven and a quarter. Jill is my
brother. That isn't his name, you know; his name is Timothy and mine is
George Zacharias; but they call us Jack and Jill.
