[Artemisia] Forgotten English

[Susan E. Macnamara]

I collected these gems from my daily calendar.

Gardyloo: a common cry in former days of the dwellers in the high  
flats of Edinburgh, who were in the habit of throwing urine slops,  
etc, out of the window; from French "gare l'eau", beware of the water.

Milk-meats: butter, cheese, etc.

Altesse: Highness; a title given to members of a royal house. [Perhaps  
something we can use for family members of the crown?)
