Ah marina,
It is a fine day to wake up to comment from you, could you be so kind and tell me where the phrase: ‘beauty and the beast’ originates.

I wonder if I can earn any Brownie points by mentioning the word ‘bandersnatch’? :twisted: A very strange word that I believe is related to the bogey or the boggart. I had heard of the brownie before (and most other such faerie types), but have always been fondest of the buckawn.
And then of course there is the legendary Brownie Mary who hailed from San Francisco and was known for handing out special brownies to the sick and dying. She helped kickstart the medical marijuana movement which to this day is mainly centered around San Francisco, CA. She would definitely represent both meanings of the word ‘brownie’.
Thanks again for another interesting lesson, HFW.

Although not always seen, her mourning call is heard, usually at night when someone is about to die and usually around woods.
