Re: My column on Lacey
Interesting as always - thank you! And, to add to your Lacie collecion, in Alice in Wonderland the Dormouse starts to tell a story, but falls asleep before getting very far. The beginning is: "Once upon a time there were three little sisters... and their names were Elsie, Lacie and Tillie." Elsie = L.C., the real-life Alice's elder sister Lorina Charlotte, then Lacie is an anagram of Alice and Tillie is a nn for Matilda, the family nn of a younger sister, actually named Edith.
