Thank you all for your definitions of ornery - I think I have the flavour of
it now!  I realise this subject was straying into Chat territory, but I've
had to unsubscribe from Lace-Chat - wading through the digests of two lists
is too much for my RSI at the moment.

Thanks also for the tip on the pronunication, Clay - I should have realised
the E was silent.  (It reminds me of when I met an American family at a
German youth hostel, many years ago.  I asked where they came from and was
told, "Mrln".  I had absolutely no idea what they were talking about.  They
told me twice more, and I still couldn't get it.  Then the penny finally
dropped - putting the vowels back in gave me "Maryland"!)

Regards,
Annette, London
