Bernard, illuminating the mystery, observed,
<< My grandmother apparently would, in the early 1900s, sit with her friends
and in between conversations would quietly whisper "Prunes and Prisms" in
order to make their mouths small and to appear to be speaking in a delicate
lady-like way.>>
My word! Now that is nightmarish! Sounds like my least favorite iris name,
PRISSY MISS.
I <<My grandmother also recounted how one of the girls was quite defiant and
would say "petit pois" thus causing her mouth to open widely at the end of
the phrase..... Can you imagine anyone being so defiant?>>
My own grandmother, born in 1888, was a suffragette and sang a song which went
something on the order of "Get off the table, Mable, the two bucks is for the
beer."
<< What a joke when we read and see the horrors in the news today. It was
certainly a world apart then! Yet it makes me wonder what we will all be
saying in the early days of the next century.>>
I'm just going to select a coign of vantage and let it roll on by, Bernard.
