I am going to give you two nouns. The first word I give you is "Illyria". Illyria is a place of minsinterpreted love and occasional comedy. The next word I give you is "rose". A rose is often depicted as beautiful and becoming, though the thorns they bear are sharp and harmful. And, of course, no matter what you call a rose, it will still smell the same. The bond between these two nouns is that William Shakespeare chose to write about it. Can you tell me one play that features Illyria, a made up place, and another that has a short line of how a rose is sweet, no matter what the name? What kind of sport would you be playing if your equipment could have a tendancy to smell as sweet as honey? 5 county cricket teams have a rose on their emblem. Yorks and Lancs. Name the other 3? Following from my last question, I have to ask, are there any other mammals affected by the smell of any plant in the same way as cats are by catnip?
