While your hearts are yearning,
Though your lads are far away

Through the dark cloud shining;
Turn the dark cloud inside out,
Till the boys come home.”

Mrs. McLaidlaw: I suppose you’re right, dear. I’m afraid she is rather spinsterish.
General McLaidlaw: What’s wrong with that. The old maid’s a respectable institution. All women are not alike. Lena has intellect and a fine solid character.”

—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
