vividly coloured oddments of clothing. Hmmm. From memory & probably
inaccurately;

tBotNS:

- scented, peach coloured scarf in antechamber. Dropped by prankster

- Pelerine scarf (?) in shepherd's beehive hut (red with tassles?)
- ditto left behind in stone town? Merryn's?

ok. all women's scarves. any more?
