Hello wizard boy,
You've been reading about mythological creatures again, haven't you?

From the Clerk's Tale:

O noble wyves, full of heigh prudence,
Lat noon [no] humylitee youre tonge naille:
Ne [nor] lat no clerk have cause or diligence
To write of yow a storie of swich [such] mervaille,
As of Grisildis [Griselda], pacient and kynde,
Lest Chichivache yow swelwe [swallow] in hire entraille.

So I guess Britney doesn't fit into the good wife category. The chichivache liked to feast on obedient and kind wives.Smile

btw, re your Harry Potter endeavours, have you read Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, also by JK Rowling?

Correctamus Indeedum ! Big Grin

Thanks for the answer. Big Grin

No, had not even heard of the Rowling books you asked about, but do have Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable which is loaded with references.
