“It’s ‘bou-quet’, if you please.”

I found out not too many years ago that I had ancestors whose last name was "Buckey;" not long afterward, I was told that it was actually a corruption of "Bouquet." True or not, we laughed like H over that, seeing something of a reverse Keeping Up Appearances.

(Our family does have more Daisys and Onslows than Hyacinths, though.)
