References to Lady Mary in Paislian Literature:

Excerpt from The Original Ballad of Paisley Glen:

"Twenty-six years passed, and there came to be
Some three branches down on Turnpike’s family tree
A set of twins born, to one Lady Mary
Who, shortly thereafter, endured something scary:
Mary and her husband, Charles Turnpike, the Earl
Lost one of the twins, the dark haired young girl..."

Excerpt from The New, Improved Ballad of Paisley Glen:

"'Twas six and Twenty years gone by and then there came to be
A darling set of twins to populate the fam'ly tree

The Lady Mary loved her spawn as any mother would
And as a father Charles (her love) he did the best he could

But somehow in the flurry of a swelt'ry summer day
Some gypsies came and stole the fair-skinned baby girl away

As babies aren't mighty quick, the couple told their son
That in his nurs'ry all this time he'd been the only one"

Excerpt from The Paisley Glen Song:
" Then there's Edmund and Ursula's Mother,
A widow with dubious wealth.
She has buried nigh 17 husbands,
but has yet to kill one herself.
