Ain't you missed your poor mammy as died crossing the plains?

If it wasn't for your poor mammy-

As my poor mammy used to say, "For good or for ill you must dig deep to bury your daddy."

What would her poor Mammy have thought?

Poor Mammy cried and cried.

'Well, what was the matter with you that you gave poor mammy such a bad night?'

'The chair hurted baby drefful, but it might hurted poor mammy worser:' that was what you said.

Poor Mammy sits and watches afternoon TV, as she does, and will do, before and after the death of any other human being.

"You poor mammy," she murmured.

"That it is, indeed," said Jane, fearing that my careless remarks had needlessly grieved poor Mammy, by raising long dormant feelings in her heart.
