Could it be that the girl was really a boy dressing up and \ndeceiving the singer? It's a strange gender reversal in any case. Normally \nin folk songs it is the man who is the deceiver of the young girls as in:\n\nOh don't deceive me, Oh never leave me,\nHow can you use a poor maid so?\n\nSo could this then be loosely related to the theme of Hyacinth as being a \n\"deceiver\", if you please?\n\nMy mind takes a leap like a dolphin, and more than likely, lands with a big \nsplash. Could the deception Silk is musing over be the deception of the \ninhumi, particularly his daughter? Wasn't that character so sweet and \ntragic? And deceptive? The timing doesn't exactly fit, though.\n\nPlease, if not a gender deception, what then is the deception that young \ngirls practice on their wandering seducers and peeping toms?\n\nChe\n\nChé Franz Joseph Monro -- http://www.chemonro.com\nche at chemonro.com    --     flirt at technologist.com"
