This piece sent by Tony is, in fact, the chorus of a song written and composed by Charles Osborne. It became a well-known music hall song in the early 20th century and was the only hit song for Millie Lindon.

Millie Lindon was born Fanny Elizabeth Warriss, the daughter of a tailor. On her marriage to Dunville in Clapham in 1895, she embellished her name to become Florence Elizabeth Millicent Warriss and reduced her age by nine years.

Dunville managed the early part of the career but she had only one hit song, For Old Times' Sake [1898], written by Charles Osborne. The marriage lasted seven years and Millie then married the Manchester newspaper magnate Sir Edward Hulton, who founded The Daily Sketch, bought and enlarged the London Evening Standard and then sold his empire to Lord Beaverbrook for £6 million.

They had two children - a daughter who died at the age of 22, and a son, Edward George Warris. This marriage, like her first to Dunville, also failed.
