ELIZABETH ELIZA.­ O dear, no!

JULIA.­ Perhaps it's Cleopatra.

ELIZABETH ELIZA.­ It does begin with a "C"­only he was a boy.

AMANDA.­ That's a pity, for it might be " We are seven," only
that is a girl.

Some of them were boys.

ELIZABETH ELIZA.­ It begins about a boy­if I could only think
where he was. I can't remember.

AMANDA.­ Perhaps he "stood upon the burning deck?"

ELIZABETH ELIZA.­ That's just it; I knew he stood somewhere.

AMANDA.­ Casabianca! Now begin­go ahead.

ELIZABETH ELIZA.­ "The boy stood on the burning deck,
When­When­"

I can't think who stood there with him JULIA.­ If the deck was
burning, it must have been on fire. I guess the rest ran away, or
jumped into boats.

AMANDA.­ That's just it:­ "Whence all but him had fled."
