[Ansteorra] To those that would punish, torture or execute the Dutchman Hanse

[Sir Lyonel]

Only the Anglais, with their renowned fear of soap could spread such  
bilge. I can think of no surer way to even out the humours and prepare  
one for battle than a steaming hot bath. It also OPENS the pores,  
unless they be so clogged with years of filth that a single bath will  
not suffice. A bit of bay or rosemary in the bath also does wonders  
with clearing the head.
