monday comes bearing a "nosy personal question, Mr Cornish: I was just re-read Foundling again and am suddenly wondering if you have some sort of deep-seated, sweat-inducing terror of, when traveling, accidentally getting on the wrong bus/train/airplane. [I'm talking of course about Rossamund's incident with the Rupunzil and the Hogshead.] because i am a paranoid traveller myself, and that situation...

http://www.wickedink.com.au/gallery:48:Oriental:image:132Alan and I are confused by this tattoo. We are not sure if it is correct or not, simply because we have never seen this idiom.From the last three characters, we can sort of guessing this person wanted "death before dishonor".

Ahh noelle, it's not just fledgling authors who feel the dents of editorial comment. I am about to receive edits from my publishers and am getting myself prepared for the sting (as much as you can).
