Lucy Lee Malady

Kept her malady a secret from the suiters who were smitten was Lucy Lee. She rapidly dives from insanely happy to a blubbering withering sad little me. Keep it to yourself her parents told her sisters and brothers and often too. They wanted to get her married off, and sent off to Detroit, Miami or Timbuktu. Lucy was an outgoing miss, as introverted as a wallboard in a cupboard. She could go from zero to sixty in a flash said her neighbor Mrs. J. Hubbard. The suiters who dated her more than once fled as if chased by a gator. The one whose mother acted the same crazy way, married Lucy Lee later.
