    They come back again to ask for Jenny Jo.
    Her mother says "Jenny Jo is starching clothes and ye can't see her now". Jenny-Jo starches the clothes.
    "Jenny Jo is ironing clothes and ye can't see her now"
    "Jenny Jo is sick in bed and ye can't see her now". Jenny Jo lies down.
    "The doctor is with Jenny Jo and ye can't see now".
    "Jenny Jo is dead and ye can't see her now".
