_Why Cold Pudding settles one's Love?_--At a Christmas party, recently,
the question occurred "Whence the origin of the supposed attribute of
cold plum pudding of settling one's love?" No one present being able to
give a satisfactory solution, it was agreed that I should take your
opinion on the subject. I therefore ask, How old is the saying? and to
what part of England or Great Britain may it be traced?
