Good point,Tilly- more for priests aren't they? I just went off teh anagram

[elliemay1]

Yes it is Tilly. Check meaning in Chambers

[elliemay1]

Seminary also means, 'a pretentious name for a school for young ladies.'

[fiction-factory]

Yes, sorry if you just wanted hints. The term 'help' is ambiguous- It's better to use 'hints'

[Tilly2]

I thought seminaries were training school for entering the priesthood.

I see that I'm wrong.

Thank you for all your help and I will use Hint next time. Gilbert and Sullivan refer to a Ladies Seminary in The Mikado.
