Of Sheep-Dip, Rot-Gut, and Furniture Polish. The worst of the worst.
And apple! The flavours added by the garnishes are all a part of why I like Pimm's - I have to admit that even I (well-known to be a fan of it) wasn't very fond of a version once made by a friend of mine, who insisted on giving me less lemonade than Pimm's (and no garnish or ice). I think if I...- Mrs Bentley

What Are You Reading
How to Cut a Cake: And Other Mathematical Conundrums (because establishing the most efficient method of tying shoelaces, i.e. using the shortest length of lace, and such things intrigue me!) and Between Heaven and Hell: A Dialog Somewhere Beyond Death with John F. Kennedy, C. S. Lewis & Aldous...- Mrs Bentley

Of Sheep-Dip, Rot-Gut, and Furniture Polish. The worst of the worst.
I'm afraid I didn't like it much at all - the best thing about it for me was the smell of the mint garnish, and even that was being slowly overpowered by the other contents of the glass! Then again, I didn't like Cynar on its own, either; the mere memory of it makes me shudder. It made for an...- Mrs Bentley

A thread for the Petite Vintage Lady
I also need one of these departments (!) - I'm 5'1 1/2" and have very similar measurements to C-dot. My legs are the reason for my shortness, though, so I tend to have to buy regular tops and then get my skirts in the petite section. Trousers/pants are a pain to buy and not particularly...- Mrs Bentley

Your favourite smell
The smell of a crisp, chilly autumn morning in a wood, when the leaves are damp. I'm sure that that would be particularly precious to me on a journey into space.- Mrs Bentley

What Games Amuse you
As Ethan's already mentioned, Articulate! and Rich Uncle are particular favourites, but thinking about my childhood, I can only seem to recollect playing Monopoly, twenty-one, solitaire (I had a wonderful little wooden set with red pegs), draughts (or checkers), and a funny game called...- Mrs Bentley

Alcoholic Confectionery - The Tipsy Treat
Oh, that fudge is wonderful! I am particularly fond of the 10 year old Edradour by itself, but integrated so well into confectionery makes it a bit of a weakness for me. I think at least a part of my fondness for it is due to my general dislike of alcoholic sweets, though - I was very...- Mrs Bentley

What is your favorite Scotch Whisky?
My favourites so far are the Edradour 10 year old and the Highland Park 25 year old (although we bought a bottle of the Highland Park 16 year old a couple of months ago that I feel inspired to try again soon!).- Mrs Bentley

Glove Making by Isabel M. Edwards
Thank you for your reply, Betty. The baby booties sound wonderful, as does the pink leather! If you ever get the time and pattern inspiration (more often than not, I have far too much of the latter and not enough of the former) to make something with it, I'd love to see some pictures. And...- Mrs Bentley

Glove Making by Isabel M. Edwards
My husband recently picked up this little book for me (we both have a great fondness for old books, and I particularly like small books, or those on sewing/housekeeping). It was first published in 1929, but the edition I have is from 1946. I don't think it's ever crossed my mind that I could...- Mrs Bentley

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Hello everyone! My name is Sara and I just outside of London in the UK. I've posted a few (literally) times in other areas of the Fedora Lounge and was about to post in here, before realising that I had never introduced myself and thought that I really should. I'm particularly fond of fashion...- Mrs Bentley

Cads on the subway
I definitely agree with this. I'm lucky in that my London Underground journey is only two lines and only a couple of stops on each, so I often stand all the time anyway, as I'm quite able to. I have had seats offered to me by gentlemen, though, and I always get the feeling that those occasions...- Mrs Bentley

What Did You Drink Last Night?
I enjoyed some Edradour 10 year old. Just after I'd poured it, I suddenly wondered whether or not a long drink would have been preferable (given how warm it has been), but didn't end up with any regrets - it was a lovely wind-down drink.- Mrs Bentley

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Evening greetings, My name is Sara Bentley and I currently live just outside of London in England. I'm married to Mr. Ethan Bentley, who found your wonderful forum in February and has been posting since. I'm ashamed to say that, although I registered around a similar time, I haven't managed...- Mrs Bentley

Ladylike drinks for the ladies?
Ladylike drinks Those certainly are my top three, although my number one preference at any given moment is likely to differ, depending upon my mood. I have to admit, I was caught out by the apparent need to drink "ladylike" beverages when I was younger, but since I found most too sweet or...- Mrs Bentley
