Notes
About this one, Cat says, "This phrase kept cropping up in the books I was reading. I'd never seen it before--and that doesn't happen to me very much nowadays. It means extra-specially mad, as in 'So-and-so is mad in white linen.' I thought, 'Gee, that's a very evocative phrase.'"

X:3878 T:Mad in White Linen O:england M:3/4 L:1/8 Q:210 C:Words and music by Catherine Faber, (c) 1990 S:From "A Breeze Through the CONduit" A:Filk B:A Breeze Through the CONduit, (c) 1992 by Julia West N:About this one, Cat says, "This phrase kept cropping up in the books I N:was reading. I'd never seen it before--and that doesn't happen to me N:very much nowadays. It means extra-specially mad, as in 'So-and-so is N:mad in white linen.' I thought, 'Gee, that's a very evocative N:phrase.'" D:on the tape, "A Breeze Through the CONduit" W:She's mad in white linen, her form fairly glows, W:Clad in her shift, down the hallways she goes W:Singing, she laughs through the tears that she cries, W:Staring right through you with unseeing eyes. W:Those eyes hold a grief that no joy can dispell. W:They saw her babes slaughtered when Highcastle fell. W:Their murderer, seeking a throne in the strife, W:He took him the woman he'd widowed to wife.
