Subject: RE: BS: Does it make sense to you that . . . .
Rapaire we have a story of a highland wife who decided she was not going to lose her man for any prince. She tried pleading but met with the same answer wives and mothers still get today "I have to everyone else is going" Eventually she capitulated and said that it would be o long walk and she had best wash his feet before he went. She laid out the basin and put in a little water but it was to cold so she fetched water straight from the fire, but in her distress instead of pouring it into the cold water she poured it all over her mans feet scalding him so he could not walk. Ah well a burn will mend a life once lost is gone forever.
