I'm a maiden who is and a maiden. I shall stay. There are some who call me, but I care what they say. I was running the tombola in the church. Bizarre today and doing it with Gusto in my usual jolly way. When suddenly I knew not why there came a funny feeling of something crawling up by five. I nearly hit the ceiling. A mouse.
