Dearest Baron Donal -
    I never thought anyone, save Sassenachs, would think of the feale beg
(so aptly named, as  in, "begging your pardon, I haven't enough material
for the real thing") as a KILT. Of course I meant the breacan feale.... and
Baron Achbar *wicked smile* I'm sure there's many a Lady who would be
willing to show you how to don one.
