A first-rate fellow she, and looked her best
When in a golf or walking costume dressed;
In short, the other’s opposite in all,
And fearfully and wonderfully tall.
One day, by chance, each occupied a place
On the same page, exactly face to face,
In such a way ’t was possible no more
For either one the other to ignore.
Then in an instant burst into a flame
The fire that had been smouldering.
