The subject of this week's contest is Bath - choose any event or person at play during this week's chapters in Bath. The usual rules apply, please send your haikus to me (click on my name above) at clsneed@ix.netcom.com by midnight Wednesday, Pemberley time (US Eastern Daylight Time) and one entry per customer.

Here is my haiku:

N.B. "Brigden stares to see anybody with me but my wife. She, poor soul, is tied by the leg. She has a blister on one of her heels, as large as a three shilling piece." (ch 18)
