I only scrape ice off the car twice, maybe three times a year. And no,
it doesn't rain every day and it is only gloomy in January- as it is
nearly everywhere else! (Back me up on this Anne-Marie!)

The waterbearers from my household, Vaillans Coeurs, are not scantily
clad. They are neatly dressed in modest gowns as become decent young
ladies, and on the field they cover their hair as is proper. In court
they have modest but flattering clothing and they are allowed to display
their hair, neat and clean, and so are known as good and wholesome
maidens, not as girls of ill repute who would lure your sons and knights
with unclean speech and unseemly manner...

(Ok- the girls in my house aren't 'fast'- they aren't the girls your son
will get in trouble with. But they are the kind that their senior year
of college will be coming home to meet you during the holidays...)

And don't call me Mrs Beeton.
