Off-topic, since I need it for foundation for an out-of-SCA event... and
will probably be going for one of those 're-arrange' style Victorians
(nip/tuck/lift/etc.) which are out of period... just didn't know the
difference (at the time) of Victorian Vs Elizabethan.

But thank you for the information!
