“It amazed Gormly too, when requests and requester — or should I say requestress? — were both promptly referred to him.”

“Some time during the summer I produced, by request, a ballad for a Girl Guides’ Pageant on the subject of Drake’s Cannon-Ball, a local legend. It was (also by request) in the stanza of ‘Young Lochinvar’, and occupied me three days. The requestress was in raptures, but then she doesn’t know a trochee from an iambus (nor, for that matter – like de la Mare – do I).”
