PARODIES OF “WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO, MY PRETTY MAID?”
Miss Emily Faithful’s paper was responsible for the following:—We saw a Christmas card the other day which had been sent to a young lady at a school of design. It represented a grotesque figure at a lecturer’s desk, and underneath were these lines:
“Where are you going to, my pretty maid?”
“I’m going to lecture, sir,” she said.
“And what is the subject, my pretty maid?”
“Total extinction of man,” she said.
“Then nobody’ll marry you, my pretty maid.”
“Advanced women don’t marry, good sir,” she said.
