Stowe Fair Quotes

“A fine lady went to Stowe Fair. She was pregnant for the first time and, keen to know what the future held for her, she consulted an old gypsy woman. ‘Why my dear, I do believe you will have seven babies.’ said the gypsy woman studying her hand. The fine lady went away and thought no more about it. When the time came for her child to be born, a midwife was summoned to attend the labour. ‘What have we here?’ she exclaimed as she delivered fir one baby, then another and another.”
