[A provincial schoolmaster wrote to the _Daily Mail_ to say that / he had canvassed his employees on the subject of the Insurance / Bill and found that out of forty-two domestics only one -- 'Sarah / Owen, sewing-maid' -- was in favour of the Servant Tax.]
Come, children, gather round and hark / To my entrancing tale! / For though you've heard of Joan of Arc, / Of brave Grace Darling in her barque, / Of Florence Nightingale, / Not one of these such nerve displayed / As Sarah Owen, sewing-maid!
