EmmelineHas not been seen
For more than a week. She slipped between
The two tall trees at the end of the green.
So, since AA Milne knew how to rhyme, I see no reason to doubt him. (For the record, in the poem
Emmeline comes home after a week, having been criticised because her hands weren't clean, and reports that she'd gone to see the
Queen, who thought her hands were perfectly clean.)
However, I don't think she'd stay
Emmeline for much more than three days. Then she'd be
Emmie, and yes, submerged in the vast ocean of
Emma and
Emily people.
Heidi,
Rhys,
Griffin and
Emily would do it for me. In spite of the popularity factor,
Emily is just so darn beautiful! And
Emma is very plain and
Emmeline is very frilly.
