Betty was left behind last time the ladies go together and has been languishing in a cupboard somewhere. Of course she could be ‘Brown Betty' which is the name of the dark brown Rockingham glazed teapots, which would fit in nicely with the Potteries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Betty_(teapot)Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-9701427467569266762015-02-08T17:04:33.618+00:002015-02-08T17:04:33.618+00:00An endearing postcard and an intriguing message - ...An endearing postcard and an intriguing message - what more could we ask for!Dara https://www.blogger.com/profile/16643201998217385573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-44669626072761161972015-02-08T15:54:42.746+00:002015-02-08T15:54:42.746+00:00A very entertaining post - love the photo!A very entertaining post - love the photo!ScotSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01412874349376253984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-22319381531979964552015-02-08T11:18:42.396+00:002015-02-08T11:18:42.396+00:00Perhaps Emily fancied herself, Betty and her cousi...Perhaps Emily fancied herself, Betty and her cousin as being like the Three Little Maids themselves.

Or Betty could be the neighbor that always wants to go everywhere with them and those who are inviting are saying we expect her to be tagging along. Either way, Betty probably makes the outing complete. It is a great photo of Delia looking up from her treasured tea time.L.

It can't be "Betty" -- it must be ytteb and you're probably supposed to stand on your head when you read it. Maybe then, all will be clear. The list of songs in the Three Little Maids production are hilarious. "You men are a terrible bore, why were you ever invented?"
