\"Mistletoe<\/a><\/p>\n

Bags<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u2013 a sort of trouser, quite baggy, that students wear. They are rather ridiculous.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bluestocking\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u2013 this is a word for a scholarly woman, who studies instead of getting married. Although I do not want to get married, I am not a Bluestocking. I am a detective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cam\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u2013 the name of the river that flows through Cambridge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u2013 the word for a professor or teacher at Cambridge, rather like a mistress for university students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heir\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u2013 a person who is set to inherit money. You say it like \u2018air\u2019 \u2013 which may well be all that some heirs get, if the older generations have blued all the family\u2019s money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Poison book\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u2013 chemists have these in their shops. When you buy deadly poison you have to note your name down in a poison book, so there is a record in case you decide to kill someone with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wizard\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u2013 another way of saying spiffing or excellent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
