Audrey: “The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea  In a beautiful pea green boat.  They took some honey and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five pound note.  …

(Audrey recited Edward Lear’s entire poem without a hitch. I had a copy of Mother’s memorized works on my desk to assist Mother, if necessary. It was not necessary.  She recited piece perfectly.)

Audrey: Yes, I went into high English. When I recite that with you children, I have all the kids get up and dance.

Audrey: It’s about a chase. The stag is a male deer that hears the call …black hounds. The English men on horse with the dogs (hounds)…the deer get away…the deer dashes into a special place and the dogs dash by…One of the horsemen falls in love with lady of the lake…he had almost gotten lost in the woods and others gave up and left…even his horse dropped dead…he was all alone looking for someone…he toots his horn…he calls…she came thinking it was her dad…she brings him back to England…and married the horseman and continue the Royalty…the lady was royalty…so they become the King and Queen of England.

Audrey: In the eleventh grade. I had to stand up and read Lady of the Lake in school. I had to memorize part of it. That stayed in my mind and whenever I traveled, I would say that over and over in my head. My mind was clear and all I did was say it over and over in my head.

Audrey: I was reading it. It makes me laugh. Laughing most of the time! …

Audrey: The sun isn’t shining. I am sitting in my (companion) chair and roll back and forth. We may as well talk. I can hold my phone. I can always switch hands.

Audrey: Is today Saturday?
