Q.D.


_Periwinkle--a Mocking Emblem._

Can any of your readers, learned in the language of flowers, inform me
why, when Sir W. Fraser (the last of Wallace's adherents) was led in
triumph through the streets of London, with his legs tied under his
horse's belly--"a garland of Periwinkle was in mockery placed upon his
head?" See Tytler's _History of Scotland_, cap. 3.
