I was concentrating on the western side of Narrow River & Pettaquamscutt Pond, so I didn't see the Robinson house in person, so I have something to look forward to on my next visit.

Thanks! PS I lived for some years a few hundred feet from the Robinson Plantation house on Old Boston Neck so this is also intriguing to me.Leekhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609155107712091503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901699050591336692.post-73570080956989732092014-06-16T09:42:29.174-07:002014-06-16T09:42:29.174-07:00Puces is French for flea, so I imagine they have a...Puces is French for flea, so I imagine they have all sorts of puns for fleas and shady women.

Interestingly enough pucelle is French for virgin. Maybe they got it confused with half-virgin or demi-virgin, which I like to believe was my state of being at my second marriage! Great post, Jojo!

A housewife is simply a title, such as in Gervais Markham's 'English Housewife', and if you look in books such as 'The Problems of Aristotle' or '1000 Notable Things', both 17th century prints, 'wench' refers simply to girl children.Wandering Pilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693841039908542356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901699050591336692.post-76962895778643082472014-06-11T12:40:02.023-07:002014-06-11T12:40:02.023-07:00Great post Jo Ann.
