    Tough one, Dave ...
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                  Yesterday I came across Harridan, presumably horsemeat (not in the OED). The Revd. James Woodforde had it for dinner one day in1798 and described it as 'neither mutton nor lamb. ' He resolved not to have it again.
