Ah yes - fragrant times, they were - hence, laws were passed in Paris forbidding the emptying of bedpans from upper stories during certain hours of the day. Why were "nosegays" so popular? to provide a comparatively pleasant scent to what was going on around you...after all, in the Court of King Henry VIII, straw were strewn about in abundance - not just for the animals all about, but to hold the trash trown from the table (flinging gnawed bones, etc. over your shoulder was common practice)...Now, then - where do you think the term Privy Council came from? Yes, its just as bad as you think... -- Eddie Pedantic Gasbag Discussion Group
