Wisptober 3 - Chanterelle

 "It was not fireflies going up the oak tree that night, but 3 little Chanterelles who had left their usual spot, under the ferns, to go exploring the world above them.“

Emancipated duels. Photo by Pavel Kurmilev

Baroness Lubinska who presided over the famous duel between Princess Pauline Metternich and the Countess Kielmannsegg in 1892, insisted that the duelists remove their clothing above their waists to avoid infection in the event that a sword pushed clothing into the wound it caused. Being a doctor, the baroness had seen many instances of septic infection in soldiers for this very reason throughout her years of medical training.

[samanthaswords]

“The cause of the duel is reputed to be an argument over arrangements for the Vienna Musical and Theatrical Exhibition.” - I like these ladies.

I arrive at the duel 

sword: sharpened

sepsis: prevented

[olderthannetfic]

I have no doubt that, had these ladies gotten married, they would have also fought a duel over the musical accompaniment to that.
