Peeled it.

Correct +3

then what?

>It's possible to cover young apples/carve the skin in such a way that they grow with the message on them.<

An inspired suggestion but not correct, this time.

>>well you could write it in invisible ink (urine being one source)lemons being another<

There's an amusing story involving urine connected to this tale, but I went with the apples instead...

The specific colour of apple is unmentioned so I think we can presume it was unimportant.

But which other sense might she appeal to?

Smell - would peeling the apple make it more pungent?


Geggs

No but what came next might.

DGI + 1 for 'pungency'

Read back all the DGI's I've given out and see if you can solve it.

Did she press cloves into the peeled apple to enhance the aroma?


GT

No.

Apples do not last long once they have been peeled.

The flesh starts to turn brown.....................



GT

I don't think the Elizabethans were that fussy to be honest...

She either:

Soaked the peelings in wine
or
Put the peelings on the barbie to impart flavour to the meat (apple twigs do)

She put the XXXXX on the XXXX to impart the XXXX

You're formulation is right but you're wrong on the specifics....

Oh and DGI +1.

Is it apple on the fire to impart the perfume, or, to put it another way, if you walked into your bedchamber after supper and there was an apple roasting on the fire, get your coat, you,ve pulled; or if not, on your bike, sunshine?

There is no BBQ invovled.

Honestly.



Would it help if I listed all the DGI's I've given out (silly question - let me get a cup of tea first)

Armed with what, might the Countess of Shrewsbury sought engagement and new territories?


Hostile engagement or marital engagement?? - The latter.

The Countess of Shrewsbury was Bess Hardwicke.

Hardwick Hall,
More glass than wall.................

Four times the nuptual bed she warmed,
And every time so well performed
That when Death spoiled each Husbands billing
He left the widow every shilling!


Was it a love potion concocted from the scent glands of a Bolivian miner?

Bess entrapped her husbands using a love potion extracted from the scent glands

The Title clue was: "it's an apple"

"She stuffed apples up her vest"

In those days as the Aristos rarely washed.

She peeled it

She put the XXXXX in her XXXX to impart the XXXX

She put the XXXXX in her XXXX to impart the XXXX

We've had the peel, we've had the flesh - all that's left is stalk & pips ... unless you're doing your usual, CliveTheCamouflageMaker

A long shot, but getting disparate here. OK stick with peel.
She put the peel in her pomander to keep the contents fresh.
(used to do that in t'navy with t'ins of t'baccy - didn't dry out so quickly).

>>> getting disparate here<<<

You're now a bona fide Kiwi, Rod.

>unless you're doing your usual<

I only admitted that she peeled it.

Ooh, ever so, hd

It's one of those things. If you
chuck in a disparate now & again, and a gaerden
remember that a section is a plot and a plot is where you lie forever
beer from the bottle
wear a leather hat
but mainly you put the jug on to make the

You'll be a kiwi my son
