“When good King Arthur ruled this land
He was a worthy King.”
“IVY” is anxious for a copy of a poem containing the words—
“She will stand at the altar,
Modest, and white, and still.”
E. M. CRABB inquires for a recitation in which the expression “A little
chap curly and brown” occurs several times. We cordially respond to E.
M. CRABB’S kind wishes.
S. W. H. wishes to find a hymn containing the lines—
“Oh, make my spirit worthy
To join that ransomed throng.”
“DOUBTFUL” is informed by ELAINE STEDDALL, CLARA M. SMITH, and ELLEN
WARD that the words she quotes are the two first lines of a poem called
“Somebody’s Mother.” It can be found in Blackie’s _Comprehensive Fourth
Reader_ (School Series), or in one of the parts (I. or II.) of Alfred
Miles’ _A 1 Reciter_, price 6d. We thank ELLEN WARD for kindly copying
out the words, which “DOUBTFUL” may receive on sending her address.
“TREGELLES,” 5, Rothsay Road, Bedford, is anxious to obtain the two
volumes of _Denis O’Neil_, by Mary Bradford Whiting, now out of
print. If any reader of the “G. O. P.” has disused copies—old, but
_complete_—“Tregelles” would gladly give 3s. for the pair.
E. H. K. asks for the names of four newspapers in which an account of
the Fancy Dress Ball at Northampton House was issued, about two years
ago. The papers she kept have been accidentally destroyed.
BESSIE inquires for the words and music of a song, the refrain of which
runs as follows—
“You’ll never miss the water till the well runs dry.”
H. M. C. kindly writes: “The refrain, ‘Belle Marquise,’ asked for by
‘LA PETITE VIOLETTE,’ occurs in a poem entitled, ‘Une Marquise’ in _Old
World Idylls_, by Austin Dobson. The poem occurs also in his ‘Collected
Poems,’ published about the end of 1897.”
INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENCE.
A NEWFOUNDLAND GIRL, who writes a bright letter, asks us to insert
the following—“Miss M. P. (18), 37, Monkstoun Road, St. John’s,
Newfoundland, would like to correspond with an English or Irish girl
of the same age, with some fun in her.” Girls with a sense of humour,
please make a note of this request!
VALENTINA, Bozzotti, St. Giuseppe 11, Milan, Italy, would like to
correspond with an English girl, from 13 to 16 years of age, and wishes
her to know that she loves English people!
A young Irish lady, “PRIMROSE,” would like to hear from a young lady in
Tasmania, as to the country, houses, climate, mode of life, etc., and,
if possible, particulars as to the voyage from England to Tasmania.
GIGLIO, Florence, Via della Dogana 2, Italy, would like to exchange
Italian post-cards, “artistic, and with views,” with English ones; also
to exchange post-cards with “O MIMOSA SAN.” (See “G. O. P.” November
number).
ROSE BECKETT, 30, Victoria Grove, Folkestone, Kent, wishes for a French
and German correspondent, about 20 years of age; also a correspondent,
“living in India, who is interested in the mission work out there,” and
would write to her about it.
