Elizabeth Heffington explained about the popularity of ghoulish stories and Gothic ballads at Christmas time in the Regency before introducing Dr. Dennis Loyd, retired professor of English at Lipscomb University, who read “The Mistletoe Bough” and “Pearlin Jean.”
After Elizabeth led a birthday toast to Jane (with words by Rudyard Kipling), Dr. Loyd movingly shared several stanzas from Tennyson's In Memoriam as we prepared to ring out one year and ring in another.
