As for Faldage's comment as to Skedadle, I don't see why not. I can remember my grandmother(back in the 50's)(l950's, that is)
saying she was 'just going to skedadle over to Johnsies for some sugar" and would be back in a few minutes. Actually it was for
afternoon tea (both being Irish, that, you see). And she always
came home without it (the sugar, that is) but who noticed but her
nosy grandson, who learned never to 'questin gramma'. Thanks for
the comment ! !
