So much for one old brain to absorb, think about, and turn into verse. I had to give it a try, of course, because you said to have fun with it, and that's what I like to do, but the Dickensian style seems somehow to have eluded me. Nevertheless, here goes...

remain nameless until tomorrow
oh, such an air
such an elegant air
had the home of the lady in blue
we rode in our phaeton
right up to her gate and
she greeted us: “how do you do?”
we went inside
and, without hint of pride,
she showed us around her domain
it was lovely and grand,
so beautiful, and
we were glad to get out of the rain
she wined us and
dined us, and then
took us all 'round the house one more time
then out to the stable
and there we were able
to meet all the horses and kine
oh, such a day
such a wonderful day
we had with the lady in blue
then got in our phaeton
parked at the gate and
drove off, calling: “bye, toodle-oo”

This is fabulous! You totally nailed the tone.
I'm not sure about this one! Help?
Toss up for me either Margaret or Sherry?! wow, this was good Kay :D
You have fooled me, lol
I'm guessing Margaret Bednar???
As far as I know, I'm the only one with a horse, but this can't be me - this lady sounds far to charming to be me! Will be back tomorrow to find out who else owns a horse! :)
I love your rhyming verse which really brings the character to life.. but I'm also not sure who it may be!
Ah...I do believe the delightful lady is Margaret...love the poem!
I would guess Margaret, but remember that I always lose at betting games and gambling. But what a fun visit! I hope we don't have to wear shoes.
perfect perfect perfect. don't know who the lay in blue is though
Margaret, you are wrong, and the others are right, you are this charming lady.

Well then, "How do you do?" :) I'm flattered.
You have such fun and you are incredibly creative! Well done.
