Who knew her but spoke friendly, and would pass the time of day When they met her, trudging steady, in her independent way. I could talk a lot about Grannie, But it wouldn't be in place. I only wish you had known her. She had such a sweet old face ! She was such a brave old body ! working, and living alone. Her husband dead and buried : and no children of her own. Well. This is what she told me. She was going home one night : And carrying her organ Which wasn't over light : And when she left th...e station she had come by the midnight train A sudden storm was blowing, of wind, and hail, and rain. And she looked about for shelter. In that part of Walthamstow There was building-ground : and houses A dozen in a row Finished and standing empty, with porches built of wood : And she made for one of these porches as fast as ever she could. It was pitchy-dark, she told me. And as she got inside, A man jumped up and seized her ! And she thought she should have died GRANNIE PETTINGER. 99 Of fright, as he growled savage that he'd crack her head in two If she didn't crouch down quiet, and hide herself from view !
