Mean things: even MORE unwelcome personal epiphanies; creepy children's counting rhymes.

Hollyred, blood red, bleeding red, axe!
How many girls did Twist attack?

You could jump-rope to that, right?

If I ever actually use that part of the rhyme, yes, I suspect you're right. Lilybet, not Lilybeth. However, this is honestly just a throwaway that pleases me. I doubt the murderous Twist will be mentioned again.

Also, of course, there may be regional variation involved. Just as in the west of Corambis, the first line goes, Hollyred, blood red, screaming red, axe!
