   When I was a boy, a mere child maybe, I remember that when the Christmas candle was lighted on Xmas eve, my mother used to take a spray of holly from that which was used to decorate the house, hold it in the flame of the Christmas candle and when, after some considerable time it began to shrivel and smoke, each child, in fact each member of the family had to come forward and snuff the aroma or otherwise of the sizzling holly-leaf.

   “Glnógra, dead!?there were two creels of bonhams there the last fair day!”
