My mother had a brief "career" as a milliner shortly after she left school. We kids called her the "Mad Hatter" from the time we were old enough to (a) read AIW, and (b) make the obvious connection.

Once we had scattered, she was known to sign letters off as TMH. One of your family in-jokes.

As an aside, I seem to remember seeing the expression "man-milliner" used to describe a woman who was manipulative, particularly of men. Any connections, anyone?
