Deep in a box and all packed in bran There’s Great-grandmother D’Arcy’s fan! Great-great-grandmother lived, you know. Ever so many years ago. Oh, the things that hex - fan has seen! Grandmother wore a crinoline; Went about in a sedan chair. Looking sweet with her powdered hair; Wore a patch and the strangest hoop (Mustn’t it have been hard to stoop?); Danced quadrilles at the county ball — All her dances were booked —yes. all! Well, what secrets that fan must know. And what tales it could tel!! But, oh! Deep in its box and all packed in bran Lies Great-grandmother D’Arcy’s fan!
