	Just to clarify, the gentle was also deathly allergic to pine trees and
outside leaf mold and dust.  He was in the habit of forgetting his meds
quite often, and his Lady was usually quite put out with him about it. 
Sites in Meridies are not short on pine trees, leaf mold and dust, btw. 
The eggplant at feast was merely a 'topper' as it were.
