I was reading Daniel Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year (or is that A
plague year?). He uses the word 'disappointment' to mean the ditching
of an appointment. Silly me never made this connection. On top of
that, it's only some years hence that I connected 'discard' with what
you do with cards you don't want in card games. There must be many
stories of this kind out there. Let's hear them.
Ursula, waiting for the next shoe to drop...
