The Miller's Daughter

[sylvar]

Why does Susie Bright call a blog category "The Miller's Daughter"? The only referent I can think of is this song:

Lyrics:

The miller's daughter, riding to the fair
without a saddle, upon a scurvy mare,
cried, "Oh Mother, I'm quite undone,
I'm all o'ergrown with hair."

"Away you filly daughter,
'tis every she's concern;
and if you won't believe me,
look here and you may learn."

Then taking her aside,
she made the matter plain.
"Oh Mother, you're ten times worse,
why sure you rid [rode] upon the Mane."

I'd ask Susie Bright herself, but she's got enough to do at the moment, and as a non-subscriber, I feel I'm already getting more of her time than I have any right to expect.

Yes, but I don't understand why "The Miller's Daughter" is the name of a category about the blog itself. Is there a proverb about a miller's daughter along the lines of "the shoemaker's children"?
