And the well? It’s dry. She took everything. If instead you were looking for a about a real person named Talulah Mae associated with a Jack and Jill group (e.g., a chapter member, a local leader, or a child in a Jack and Jill event), please provide additional context — such as location, time period, or organization — and I’ll be glad to write that instead.
