The Lady who doesn’t come in.
flf HE door from the passage will swing open wide, And nobody’s touching it no one outside; At least, it is no one that people can see, But mother an’ me. It’s only the Lady JVho Doesn’t Come 1n... We ’tend that she’s bid, and she’s little, and thin... And nobody asks her to come in to tea, Bat mother an’ me.’ She, never comes in. But p’raps...some day...she might, And so, JUST IN CASE, if the door clicks at-night,'. I don’t ask her in, when it happens to be There’s no one but me. ' ’ • —Marion St. Jphii\Webb.
