Can I say "you and Judy" instead of "Judy and you" in the above quotation?

P.S.
When more than one personal pronoun is used with a verb, the order is normally: 3rd or 2nd person before 1st person; 2nd person before 3rd person.
She and I do not get on very well.
You and he should buy the boat between you.

75. Order of Pronouns.--When a personal pronoun is used with other personal pronouns or nouns in a series, the pronoun of the first person always comes last.
Examples:
(1) Tom, Harry, and I went in together.
(2) You, he, and I are to be invited, or He, you, and I are to be invited.

No. It was published in 1908.
That's decades before I was born. Also, rather than consult a grammar book, if you have a question you can just ask me. 😊
