Henry (who ate the notorious meat pie) deserted his wife Janet a few months earlier. She was admitted to the poor house and was described as "much given to drink". I think she may have been responsible for stealing the lettuce. Incidentally, she died of "senility"

Well knock me down with a feather! I just looked at the Archaic medical terms site and it says "Chincough or chin-cough Whooping cough " or as the medical profession likes to call it now, pertussis. nell

Chincough sounds like a horrid mix of whooping cough and chickenpox. Particularly unpleasant if you are also suffering from teeth!

Denise Report 2 Sep 2004 22:54
