That would certainly stink. Very cleverly written, Kim.

Yep, I knew what you meant. Liked yours better than the 1st place choices.

Thank you, Lin! The stink relates to the cologne, actual Versailles and loosely to the sin that was rampant in that place.

A little piece of history- I refreshed my mind some by reading about her, what a tragic end for her, it stinks in more than Versaille...to be executed that way, ugh... it seems Louis had a part, too....he was in no way innocent
