Alphabe Thursday V is for Violante …
October 16, 2014
Oh dear I am getting near the end of the alphabet and clutching at straws.
Hannah Bantry, in the pantry,
Gnawing at a mutton bone:
How she gnawed it,
How she clawed it,
When she found herself alone.
Frederick in Maria Edgeworth’s story the Mimic (1796) sings ‘Violante in the pantry’ and then in Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera we have Iolanthe!
I know … not the greatest post but ‘V’ is a difficult one!
