Thread Name: woman a dog and a walnut tree
Subject: RE: woman a dog and a walnut tree
As a child I was told "A woman, a spaniel, and a walnut tree," etc, but I have no idea why that particular selection.
As I understood it the tree was to be beaten around the trunk, but I cannot remember whether I was told so, or merely inferred it.
