HARTRIGHT



You must be Miss Halcombe-I'm so sorry-



MARIAN (interrupting him)



Thank God you have arrived

you're fated to become

my drawing teacher

you poor creature

Our village is as dull

as it may first appear

a city mouse in Limm'ridge house

I hope you'll like it here



You're les than half the age

that we thought you might be

you'll feed our hunger

for someone younger

so please unpack your bags

and please be of good cheer

I'm sure you'll like where you reside

but with respect I must confide

I can't abide the countryside

I hope you'll like it here



You shall be the drawing master

to my sister and me

though she learns a little faster

a disaster I will be

We're the product of one mother

\but we come from diff'rent fathers

I think mine, for design

was completely talent free



Very soon you'll meet my sister

well, she's tech'nic'ly my half

but she's my whole world-my sister

is the wheat and I'm the chaff

She's kind and generous and fun

much younger, and the pretty one!



My father was quite poor

her father's wealth was vast

so she'll inherit and gladly share it

We're close as two can get

Between us not one tear

perpetually in harmony

I hope you'll like it here



Pretty soon you'll meet my uncle

whose prognosis is quite grim

he will tell you that his chances

of recovery are slim

With his bed pan and his hanky he is terminally cranky

though no doctor around

found a thing that's wrong with him



But how do I go on

I try to keep it short

then lose the battle and simply prattle

but getting to my point

my welcome is sincere

We're thrilled that's indisputable

I hope your rooms are suitable

your sentence is commutable

I hope you like it here
