My best friend and I accompanied my dad to the dump, where we looked around for treasures. We found some bongo drums and a box of books that had the covers torn off, and "Perfumed and Powdered" was amongst them. It had a couple of words in it that I did not find defined in my handy dandy Thorndyke Barnhardt High School Dictionary, which I will not repeat here as this is my work computer and they might send up red flags.
