From Buckles #2

Just see the dainty way in which Lily, the youngest (weighing ten tons) puts her trunk around Miss Jeanette and lifts her high above the heads of the audience- then sets her down with a touch that wouldn't hurt a fly. From the oldest to the youngest, whose name is Mousie, all our elephants are perfect ladies. And you should see Lily dancing! Evan a ballerina's footwork could scarcely be more accurate."
