MR, can you explain the colour reference, please, in 9ac?
Thank you - I live and learn, that's a new one to me.
Question Author
Mark thanks. I should have got those two.
There's a good back story to ISABELLA. From what I remember it's from the legend that Isabella, a princess of Spain, vowed not to change her linen until some war or other was over. It presumably took some time as her linen became the grey colour now defined by her name.
