I need a list of things, smallish things, that a English (or Japanese?) gentleman might own. Taking a clue from Through the Looking Glass, there is “Ham Sandwich” and “Hay”. Hourglass is another. Also, sometimes the English drop their H, but contrariwise, add an H where none is spelled out. Words like that would also be fun. This would be for a “Robe of Useless items” from Wonderland. ---
