“Have you the list in rhyme?” asked Anna.
“No, Cousin Anna. I never saw it,” said Kate.
“Oh, you must have that. It is so easy to learn. We used to learn the English Sovereigns in rhyme. I remember so well our reciting;
‘First William, the Norman,
Then William, his son,’
“And so on. And now Mrs. Peter has put our Presidents in rhyme;
‘First Washington, then Adams,
Next Jefferson we view;
James Madison, Monroe, and then,
John Adams’ son—John Q.’
