Neither Use Nor Ornament"Wading neck deep in a swamp, your revolver is neither use nor ornament until you have had time to clean it" Mary H. Kingsley (1897)
Come, come, my dear girl. I thought we were both agreed. Celebrating the arrival of dawn with a tumbler of British Sherry might achieve wonders for the spirits but significantly lessens our powers of visual discernment!
It’s a hat, Lucille. A glimpse at the linked post shows this rather natty chapeau in greater detail.
I wonder if it’s time to strengthen your lens prescription, young lady?
As for the single rosebud infusion, might I have mine with a hefty slug of gin?!
Is that a fish on his head?

It still looks like a fish to me and all I have imbibed was the infusion of a single rosebud. (True).
