“[W]hen great Aunt Ryder was exhausted with carrying her little nephews pick-a-back, Aunt Ellen was always willing to become⟳ a ‘gee-gee’ or riding-horse in her place⟳, although certainly one of no very prancing and fiery temperament.”

“I once heard a gee-gee neigh. / I thought he was calling for heigh. / But a man tapped my head, / And smilingly said, / "It's just that he feels a bit geigh."”

“Oh, you don’t catch⟳ me on a gee-gee’s [footnote: A “gee-gee” is a horse.] back again, / It’s not the sort⟳ of place⟳ that you can doze on, / For the only ’orse that I think⟳ that I can ride⟳ / Is the one that the m’ssis dries the clothes on.”

“Then one day his bookkeeper didn't show⟳ up for work⟳, just disappeared, the financial records and journals gone with him. / 'He stole from you?' / 'He blew it all on the gee-gees and cards. I had no idea. You just can't trust⟳ people Jamie.'”
