Runcible's Return: Two from Henry James

A novel penn'd 
by Henry James...?
That's The Golden Bowl.
When Buddy scores 
in soccer games...?
That's the Bolden goal.

     Moral:
Consciousness streams
as a footballer dreams.

What’s that novel by James

where the pretty flirt dies…?

Perhaps it’s Daisy Miller.

Which of Phyllis’s daughters

might Mom satirize…?

Perhaps it’s Maisie Diller.

     Moral:

That wife of Fang’s

says "funny thangs."
