I'm sure I remember a Thurber story in which he opines that, if the Andrews Sisters were doing an arrangement of Wordsworth's 'Lucy', the last verse would go
"We dwelt alone and few could know
when Lucy married me;
but we were wed last spring, and o!
the difference to me!"
- or words to that effect. However, a perusal of all my Thurber books failed to unearth the piece in question. Have I hallucinated it?

Dear Kip:
You'll find the story, which is called 'Take Her Up Tenderly', in the 1953 anthology 'Thurber Country'.
Best wishes,
Christy
