     "Meggie...It hasn't got enough dignity, it doesn't suit you a bit. I'd rather you were called something like Belinda or Madeline, but if Meggie's the best you've got to offer, I'll go for it. What's the Meggie stand for - Margaret?"

     "No, Meghann."

     With Ron and Sid and Meg.
     Ron stole Meggie's heart away
     And I got Sidney's leg.
