As for Nancy, she stood in front of the parlor fireplace, and when she heard the hoot of the engine in the distance she removed the four mortuary vases from the mantelpiece and took them to the attic, while Gilbert from the upper hall was chanting a favorite old rhyme:   "She called us names till she was tired, She called us names till we perspired, She called us names we never could spell, She called us names we never may tell.
