She went to the undertaker’s For a coffin and shroud, When > she came back Puss sat up and mewed Thereafter the cat continues to perform household chores and comic feats and the two exchange courtesies in the final stanza, much as do Mother Hubbard and her dog at the end of Ms Martin's work.

Ashliman, "How the Devil Married Three Sisters, and other folktales of type 311" The Brothers Grimm noted its close similarity to the Norwegian The Old Dame and Her Hen, also grouped in this tale type. The tale also features the motifs of the "Forbidden chamber" and a bloodied item that betrays the bride peeking in that chamber against strict orders, and as such bears resemblance to the Bluebeard type tales (which are type AT 312).

Apart from the church and the old "Dame School" (at the junction of Penlan Road and Lewis Road), the only other building of any interest is the "Baron's Court," near the roundabout at the top of Penarth hill. It is the oldest building in the Llandough area, but is now used as a pub restaurant and much hemmed in by a flyover. This picture taken in 1963 shows the (derelict) thatched cottage on the main Cardiff-Leckwith road facing Lewis Road. It appears to have been built on much earlier foundation work.

He records meeting Seacole in his 1857 work A Culinary Campaign and describes Seacole as "an old dame of a jovial appearance, but a few shades darker than the white lily".Quoted by Ramdin, p. 85.

Among other early friends was John Giles, Palmer's cousin, and a man of devout life and deep religion, who deeply influenced the literary taste, general culture, and religious views of his friends.

Though approximately the words above are what have survived of the nursery rhyme to the present, their sense is preserved at the start of a 15-stanza chapbook, Jack & Jill and Old Dame Gill, published in 1806. The work dates from the period when children’s literature was beginning to shift from instruction to fun in the wake of the success of Old Mother Hubbard and kindred works.Delaney, Lesley Jane: "'Making amusement the vehicle of instruction': Key Developments in the Nursery Reading Market 1783-1900", UCL PhD thesis, 2012, p.105 - 120 This change of emphasis was signalled by the book's coloured illustrations and introductory epigraph: "Read it who will, They’ll laugh their fill".

According to the Aarne-Thompson system of classifying folktale plots, the tale of Halewijn is type 311 (the heroine rescues herself from a supernatural foe). Similar tales are Fitcher's Bird, The Old Dame and Her Hen, and How the Devil Married Three Sisters and the tale shares more than a likeness with the various versions of Lady Isabel and the Elf Knight, Child ballad 4. Also noteworthy is the similarity between lord Halewijn and the legendary Bluebeard. The Halewijn legend shares with all those tales the main theme of a woman lured by a powerful, handsome and implicitly sexual stranger who is in some way "otherworldly" or magical and hence has a bad fate in store for her.

Rutherford suffered from Alzheimer's disease at the end of her life and was unable to work. Davis cared for his wife at their Buckinghamshire home until her death on 22 May 1972, aged 80.

Brady's books included The Future People: Christianity, Modern Culture and the Future (1971); The Mystics (1974); A Crucible of Prophets: Australians and the Question of God (1981); Playing Catholic: Essays on Four Catholic Plays (1991); Polyphonies of the Self (1993); and Caught in the Draught: Contemporary Australian Culture and Society (1994); as well as South of My Days: A Biography of Judith Wright (1998). Her love of words was probably inherited from her Irish-Australian father. Childhood books that remained lifelong companions included The Magic Pudding, Winnie The Pooh and archy and mehitabel, from which she was fond of quoting; a particular favourite being the cockroach Mehitabel’s maxim “toujours gai kid” and “there’s more than one dance in the old dame yet”, a line she often used in her later years.
