Miss Stewart - alcoholic??
The CBB -> Anything Else
#1: Miss Stewart - alcoholic?? Author: Kate, Location: Ireland PostPosted: Wed Feb 04, 2004 9:26 pm

Have just been re-reading camp - and this jumped out at me:
Miss Stewart lifted her up from the sand on which she had laid her down and, with a strength amazing to behold, carried the girl over to the fire and deposited her on the grass beside it. "Carla, go to my tent," she said to the young Tirolean, who was busy stoking it up, for, since Jo had begged for warmth, she must have it. "In my case, you shall find a small flask. Bring it here."
Carla ran off and presently returned with the flask. Miss Stewart unscrewed the top, poured out a small dose of brandy, and literally forced it down Jo's throat.

Why on earth did she have brandy in her tent?? It is conceivable that she may have brought some - but in a flask in her tent? Shouldn't have been in a communal tent where the staff knew about it and could get it...? She seems to be the only one who knows about it! Sounds a bit alcoholic-ish to me! Wink Laughing Laughing There's a drabble idea for someone...

*lol* I love the mental image! Maybe that's why she left the school so suddenly - she went into rehab.

Actually, I suppose it was kept there, in a first aid kit, for safety and to keep it away from curious girls. *imagining a camp full of drunk and rousing Guides*

 

#3:  Author: Emma, Location: Lichfield PostPosted: Thu Feb 05, 2004 9:26 am

I suppose the brandy was hidden away from the girls... I've now also got images of all the staff being alcoholic!!!

 

#4:  Author: KB, Location: Melbourne, Australia PostPosted: Thu Feb 05, 2004 9:27 am

Considering our drabbles, Emma, is that really so suprising?

 

#5:  Author: Chloë, Location: London: when away from home planet! PostPosted: Thu Feb 05, 2004 6:12 pm

On brownie and guide camps any non-soft drinks were hidden and not in the food tent!

 

#6:  Author: Susan, Location: Carlisle PostPosted: Thu Feb 05, 2004 10:12 pm

I have read that scene countless times and never thought it that odd. Until I read it last time - which of course was after I joined this board, and pictured her having secret nips from the flask every now and again.

 

#7:  Author: Carolyn P, Location: Lancaster, England PostPosted: Thu Feb 05, 2004 10:53 pm

Never thought of that particular scene, but does lend credence to our alcoholic stadd drabbles doesn't it? Cool

 

#8:  Author: Susan, Location: Carlisle PostPosted: Fri Feb 06, 2004 12:13 am

It certainly does.

 

#9:  Author: Vikki, Location: Possibly in hell! It's certainly hot enough....... PostPosted: Fri Feb 06, 2004 2:12 am

Oh dear!! Will any of us ever read the books again without looking for stuff like this?

 

#10:  Author: KB, Location: Melbourne, Australia PostPosted: Fri Feb 06, 2004 7:39 am

Simple answer: no.

 

#11:  Author: Sarah_L, Location: Redcar PostPosted: Fri Feb 06, 2004 1:13 pm

We're always going to read the books in the future with all the CBB discussions/drabbles etc influencing our understanding of them. It's an unavoidable fact!

 

#12:  Author: Abi, Location: Alton, Hants PostPosted: Fri Feb 06, 2004 1:57 pm

ROFL Oh dear, I'd never thought of it like that either!!! I'll always giggle when I read that bit now!

 

#13:  Author: Ally, Location: Jack Maynard's Dressing Room!! PostPosted: Fri Feb 06, 2004 2:40 pm

Perhaps she just thought it safer to have it in her tent, so that no girls would find it accidently.

*Desperately trying to suggest good reasons, but now visualising many drunk guides*

 

#14:  Author: Sarah_K, Location: St Albans PostPosted: Fri Feb 06, 2004 4:09 pm

To be fair I don't think leaving it anywhere near the girls would have been a good idea. Considering the number of times they got ingredients wrong in their various cooking experiments I wouldn't trust them not to spike the coffee or other food stuff Very Happy

First time I went on a Pack Holiday as a leader rather than a Brownie I was very surprised at the fact that the leaders had wine and chocolate after the kids went to sleep... never occured to me as a kid Laughing

 

#15:  Author: Chelsea, Location: Your Imagination PostPosted: Fri Feb 06, 2004 4:11 pm

Considering the medicine that did get made - I should think it a very good thing that the alcohol was hidden away from the kiddies.

 

#16:  Author: Jennie, Location: Cambridgeshire PostPosted: Fri Feb 06, 2004 5:18 pm

The brandy was obviously a supply kept for an emergency. Imagine Corney if she had found and drunk the stuff!

Well, isn't she? Mind you, I've always had a soft spot for Corney Flower. Fancy me admitting to a soft spot!

*starts a support group for Corney!*

 

#23:  Author: Kate, Location: Ireland PostPosted: Fri Feb 06, 2004 11:10 pm

Speaking of Corney - I was reading "At War" - she must have been so old when she was headgirl! In Head Girl she was 14, Robin was 8 - in At War, Robin was almost 16, Corney must have been close on 22!!! Even if you can't really go by Robin's age, it says somewhere in At War that Corney was at the school over 6 years - that still makes her 20.
I knew there was an EBDism, but come on!!!

 

#24:  Author: Susan, Location: Carlisle PostPosted: Sat Feb 07, 2004 1:41 am

I was just reading this today!!! Glad you worked it out. It made my brain ache when I tried.

 

#25:  Author: Kate, Location: Ireland PostPosted: Sat Feb 07, 2004 2:02 am

*giggles* It was at three o'clock in the morning and I couldn't sleep - I went through every book that Cornelia is in and made a note of her age. I can post the list at next weekend if anyone wants it - I left it at home, I'm at uni now. But it is quite funny. Let me know if you want it - though it's easy enough to work out for youself if you've a few hours to spare!

 

#26:  Author: Susan, Location: Carlisle PostPosted: Sat Feb 07, 2004 2:43 am

As I was reading in my lunch hour I didn't have the other books I was trying to do it from memory and although I knew it seemed wrong I just ouldn't get it right in my head.

 

#27:  Author: KB, Location: Melbourne, Australia PostPosted: Sat Feb 07, 2004 5:53 am

Please post it, Kate!

 

#28:  Author: Ally, Location: Jack Maynard's Dressing Room!! PostPosted: Sat Feb 07, 2004 10:57 am

Please do! I've always wondered how she still was at school when all her comperes had left long ago. After all having just read Gillian she is in the lower 6th there, so probably only had one or two years left at the most.

I wonder if her staying on is connected to the discussion about Mr Flower buying the school. Perhaps Madge felt she had to look after and educate Corney (for ever) in return.

 

#29:  Author: KB, Location: Melbourne, Australia PostPosted: Sat Feb 07, 2004 11:13 am

Well, she left unexpectedly at the start of "Robin", so that gives a very good timeline.

 

#30:  Author: Kate, Location: Ireland PostPosted: Sat Feb 07, 2004 12:00 pm

OK. I'll probably get it up on Thursday or Friday - depending when I get home next. Smile

 

#31:  Author: Lesley, Location: Rochester, Kent PostPosted: Sat Feb 07, 2004 12:57 pm

After reading all of this thread for the first time I realise that I have become totally corrupted. I cannot read any CS book without discussions and drabble on this board influencing how i feel about various characters!

Actually, I think a more likely candidate is Evadne. Wasn't Bill always complaining that Evvy had to try to taste everything. I remember Bill caught her eating the corn? stalk in one of the Hall games, and later made some reference to it in science class, to warn Evvy off eating the chemicals.

 

#35:  Author: Chelsea, Location: Your Imagination PostPosted: Sun Feb 08, 2004 9:47 pm

WHich leads to Evadne blowing up the lab, in annoyance. Okay, it was only the finishing touch, but it is a cause.

 

#36:  Author: KB, Location: Melbourne, Australia PostPosted: Mon Feb 09, 2004 7:05 am

Actually, I think you'll find she ate the raw corn, not the stalk.

I think it's definitely a toss up between the two, but I'm leaning more towards Evvy at the minute!

What's wrong with eating raw corn anyway? It tastes rather nice to me!

I'll get that list up tomorrow - I totally forgot!

I went through a stage of having to taste virtually everything I came across, my bets are on Corney at the monent.

 

#41:  Author: Sarah G-G,  PostPosted: Sun Feb 15, 2004 9:52 pm

Well I'm having mental images at the moment of some of the middles being in charge of cooking the meal, finding the brandy and (being very innocent, pure CS-girls!) not realising what it was so using it in the meal and getting everyone drunk!

The last person who reminded me of this had cunningly secreted the alcohol in the (uncooked) frosting. Same person who once switched alcoholic and nonalcoholic labels between bottles.

How many did you bring to Germany with you? and if your intending to bringing them to the UK have you got their passports up to date!!

if you turf them out windows it's no wonder Rupert gets all shaky and twitchy every time i mention you!

 

#53:  Author: KB, Location: Melbourne, Australia PostPosted: Tue Feb 17, 2004 5:11 pm

I have Hilde as my main CS small sparkling purple leaf, but also Jarod, my Pretender small sparkling purple leaf, and then my thesis-related bunnies. And they don't have passports - I smuggle them in in my suitcase!

 

#54:  Author: Katarzyna, Location: Preston, Lancashire PostPosted: Tue Feb 17, 2004 5:27 pm

*sigh*

and we now have a perfectly good pet passport scheme in this country there's no need to smuggle them in any more!

My dear, if you knew what Australian quarantine laws were like, you'd understand!

 

#56:  Author: Katarzyna, Location: Preston, Lancashire PostPosted: Tue Feb 17, 2004 5:33 pm

Well considering ours were more draconian than the Aus one's were I shouldn't worry about it too much.

Actually aus is on the list of approved countries to allow a passport so there should be no problems so long as their vaccinations are up to date and they have a permenant form of id - do you have yours microchipped or tattooed?

(guess who has exported one of her puppies and so got very familiar with the quarantine laws of other countries)

 

#57:  Author: KB, Location: Melbourne, Australia PostPosted: Tue Feb 17, 2004 6:08 pm

I think, though, that laws are different with wild animals, and no one in their right mind could call a PB tame!

 

#58:  Author: Katarzyna, Location: Preston, Lancashire PostPosted: Tue Feb 17, 2004 6:14 pm

as far as DEFRA are concerned a bunny is a bunny whether it's wild or not, so long as it's had it's shots it's fine.

If PB's aren't tame though it would go along way to explaining some of rupert's actions

 

#59:  Author: KB, Location: Melbourne, Australia PostPosted: Tue Feb 17, 2004 6:36 pm

I think Aussie quarantine would worry that a bunny might have come in contact with British wildlife, and I can't do without them for two months or more on end!

#72:  Author: KB, Location: Melbourne, Australia PostPosted: Fri Feb 20, 2004 8:33 pm

I can't be bothered doing pasta, and you can't get decent mince here anyway.

 

#73:  Author: Kathy_S, Location: midwestern US PostPosted: Fri Feb 20, 2004 10:35 pm

Another example of the American/English/Australian language problems. Smile Last year the kitchen on my staircase at uni had a tiny oven, no freezer and I only discovered the grill worked near the end of the year. Eggs are good in that situation, scrambled, fried or poached.

#78:  Author: Catriona, Location: South Yorkshire PostPosted: Sat Feb 21, 2004 4:51 pm

"Mincemeat" in the UK is a concoction of dried fruit that tends to be put in pies at Christmas-time: "mince" is probably a contraction for minced meat. (Usually beef but can also be lamb, pork or turkey).

*or any other kind of meat, I suppose, including rabbit*

 

#79:  Author: Ally, Location: Jack Maynard's Dressing Room!! PostPosted: Sat Feb 21, 2004 5:42 pm

The Christmas Mincemeat (eg dries fruit) used to be made with meat, hence where the name came from.

 

#80:  Author: KB, Location: Melbourne, Australia PostPosted: Sat Feb 21, 2004 7:23 pm

I won't even call it that to make British readers happy. It's mince meat or minced meat or mincemeat, dagnabit! Evil or Very Mad

 

#81:  Author: Vikki, Location: Possibly in hell! It's certainly hot enough....... PostPosted: Sat Feb 21, 2004 8:20 pm

What KB is refering to, is what we (in North America) would refer to as ground beef.

Thanks everyone for the clarification on mince.

Notes that I put neither the raisiny nor the meat varieties in my pasta, since one sounds dreadful and the other would require precooking in a 2nd pan. Anything that requires 2 pans is just too complicated.

I used to be a veggie but gave up in France last year (out of extreme politeness to the people I was living with for a while rather than personal choice) but I still have issues over eating a lot of meats so I won't pass comment on the prospect of mincemeat with mince *feels quite nauseous at the thought*

Humm, somewhere in my cookery book collection I am sure i have a medieval recipie for mincemeat pasties which are made with mince and fruit.....

I take it none of you have ever had Baboti (spelling?) a south african dish that has both minced meat and sultanas in, or how about the south american dish (name temorarily escapes me) which has turkey and chocolate in.....
