[Yes George. Fruit sex.]

Well, when a male pomelo and a female mandarin fall in love...

Uh, sorry? ...Can I ask why?

[Ponder ponder she's pulling off another slice.] Really? I mean, sometimes people throw rum in, I guess, but brandy. That sounds kind of awesome, actually. I think we should make some.

...Oh. Oh, God, I am so, so sorry.

A plague? Really?

... Did it work?

According to my third grade teacher and what I read, yeah. It was to combat the smell of, uh...decay.

Doesn't sound like it would actually prevent infection.

I've had wassail! It's very sweet and it smells excellent, you're right.

I am surprised you knew of them, madam. And aye, and this July in particular, I think.

I think it's pretty rote on the curriculum here. Makes learning that part of history a little less scarring, or something.
