Your answer advises us that "The turtle dove is now very rare in Britain."

What caused the rare occurrence?

The last paragraph in the first subheading, A long and arduous passage, advises us that "The first step in the voyage would be to cross the clashing tidal streams that meet where the tidal waters of the North Atlantic meet the currents from the North Sea, when the colliding waters create a confused surface which we call an overfall nicknamed the Merry Men oF Mey, with water columns and pits occurring spontaneously."

What is the meaning of the nickname "the Merry Men of Mey"?

The Munster dialect as the purest dialect in all Irish Gaelic and in fact in all Gaelic appeals to me as the descendant through my maternal, Norway line of ancestors there (and in fact in all areas of the Emerald Isle).

What is the purest dialect in Scots Gaelic?

So the woman addressed as tailor's wife in the Gnomes of Cologne link above, not as such in the fifth subheading above, caused the dwarfs to leave.

The last paragraph to the fifth subheading considers that "Well, human curiosity once more proved to defeat human laziness. A woman wanted to see them. She set up a booby trap. She succeeded - and all the little men of Cologne left the town. From then on, people have to do their work just like in every other town."

Did the trap-setting woman not desire -- at all, ever -- work done by the gnomes or did that departure develop independently of what she desired to do?

Your answer advises us about damaged balls

What is done with damaged balls? Might they be repaired if repairable? Might they be sold to fans?

The fourth paragraph to the second subheading, Species names, alerts us that "You will find other names saying something about the physical characteristics of the plant. So for example, floribunda means abundant in flowers. Grandiflora means having grand or large flowers. Gigantea speaks for itself. Diversifolia indicates some diversity in the foliage. Of course descriptions might contain an element of subjectivity. Take Salix alba Caerulea, It was named for its light green leaves, but Caerulean denotes blue. But sometimes perceptions of blue and green, colours adjoining each other in the spectrum can be confused and subjective, especially at the boundary line between colours."

Some plants have a number of the attributes above. For example, it's possible to have abundant flowers and diverse foliage. Is there a tradition as to which attribute the scientific name invokes?

The first paragraph to the first subheading, Why we write, advises us that "I had already decided that my preferred life path was writer."

Was there one thing in particular or were there several or many things by which you wended your way into the writing life path?

Online sources bare nothing about burials of people hanged.

Did the head always get separated from the body? Were the removed head and the rotting body or the rotting body with its retained head given any prayerful protection during and after their respective display and trophy status?

Here it means something else, the condition, must be thought about. Rote, unthinking work does not work. Students can go through the method and not understand what has happened, especially not distinguish one case from the other.

The second paragraph to the second subheading, Prayer with others, advises us that "Mass is on a three year cycle during which the whole New Testament and much of the Old Testament is read aloud."

What books of the Old Testament are not read aloud in the three-year Mass cycle?
