This female Christian name had a foreign twang; it gave dissatisfaction. Boy after boy had a try at it, with the same effect: they could not speak the name without a pursing of the mouth and a puckering of the nose, beastly to see, as one little fellow reminded them on a day when Matey was in more than common favour.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
