Did your mean to type: ‘languished’?
Did dang demonic Autocorrect claim another victim here? /sarc
Good call. I almost replied to my own post with the correction but decided it would be annoying to double post.

I remember reading about the plague and that people in Europe believed it came from the east. So they seem to have been correct. Although, if I remember right, they believed the disease was reaped into their crops in the fields at night. Hence the origin of the reaper mythos.
