Hello people in the West End of London, Pinda's lost a ring which belonged to my mum. If you're walking between Golden Square and Cecil Court this afternoon, and you spot a little Georgian gold ring set with seed pearls and purple-ish garnets, we'd be overjoyed to see it again.

Before we took -ess from French, -ster was the native English way to make a word refer to females. An actress was a “playster” (plegestre), a female baker was a “baxter” (bæcestre), a female weaver was a “webster” (webbestre), and a female dancer was a “hopster” (hoppestre).
