Interesting as always - thank you! And, to add to your Lacie collecion, in
Alice in Wonderland the Dormouse starts to tell a story, but falls asleep before getting very far. The beginning is: "Once upon a time there were three little sisters... and their names were
Elsie, Lacie and
Tillie."
Elsie = L.C., the real-life
Alice's elder sister Lorina
Charlotte, then Lacie is an anagram of
Alice and
Tillie is a nn for
Matilda, the family nn of a younger sister, actually named
Edith.
