Dave:
Where Lucy is concerned, I've given up until someone comes along and
tells me who belongs to whom?
I have four paramours that have vied for her attentions:
Daniel H Canning
Daniel Holmes (who may actually be Daniel Holmes Canning in my opinion)
Norman Tipping
Joseph Frederick Porter
Another one would just muddy the already cloudy waters!
