GUEST,George Frampton	Origins: What comprised a broken token in ballads (13)	Origins: What comprised a broken token in ballads	24 May 15
The scientist within me is gaining the upper hand ... What was a 'broken token' as in 'the ring from off his finger he instantly drew' and other such palaver? As any metallurgist/physicist will tell you, break a metal object in two as simply as that (?!) and the crystal structure is so deformed, that to link the two halves together will remain unconvincing. Is the 'token' just that and the 'ring' be composed of some less deformable material, or should the participants go to Specsavers? Answers, please!
