And here I sat thinking that someone else had read LMM's Pat of
Silver Bush and its "squeal" Mistress Pat! For those who haven't
read them, Judy Plum, the Gardiner's Irish housekeeper, always refers
to the sequal of a story she has told as a "squeal."
"Oh, but there was a funny squeal to it, Patsy, darlint..."
