This town is stilish, gay and fair, And full of wellthy riches rare, But I would pillow on my arm The thought of my sweet Brookside Farm. School is pretty good.

Emma Jane can add and subtract in her head like a streek of lightning and knows the speling book right through but has no thoughts of any kind.
