    The Woman's Daughter
    takes Profit
    There was a woman living not very far away from here, about forty years ago an' she was losing all the butther. She went to a knowledgeable man of the name of Hobson.
    Hobson axed her would she like to see the person that was takin' her butther, an' she said "she would".
    "Well", says he "go over an' look in that lookin' glass, an' ye'll see her."
    Over she goes, an' who did she see but her own daughter that was married some years before that.
