The neighbours never pass us by unnoticed any more ; They’ve ceased to tilt their noses high the way they did before. We’re not looked down on by the Browns or snubbed by'Mrs Green— There’s been a sudden chance since pa has bought a limousine. Ma gets invited out to tea or something every day, And boys that used to boot at me have pleasant things to say ; The callers come in style and show an interest that’s keen In us and our affairs since pa has bought a limousine.
