Puzzled

From Rev D. Eirwyn Morgan

Sir: Tom Puzzle's column is quaint and Englishe, even if slightly undergraduate and sillie. Non-Tory and Welsh, may 1 enquire of him concerning the adjective 'Gwendolenise' with reference to Mrs Hoarder Thatcher (January 4)?

a, Is it, etymologically, Celtic?

b, Who was this particular Gwendolen?

c, What is the exact meaning of the

term?. D. Eirwyn Morgan Principal, The Baptist College, Bangor
