Yes. When I was a girl, my friends and I enacted that poem out on the Lake of Shining Waters. I was the Lady and they sent me out onto the water on a barge -- really just a small boat, but we all had imaginations. Diana donated a lovely gold cloth that had been on her mother's piano. I pointed out to them that I couldn't do it because I have red hair, but none of the others would do it.
It was a good thing, because the boat began to sink and Ruby and Jane and Diana would have truly panicked and probably drowned if they had been the one on the water. As it was, I clung to a bridge and Gilbert happened by and saved me.
