4679. THE ODOR OF PRUNES. The odor of prunes which they have when they are cooked, signifies the delight which married people have in lying together, that is, the delight they feel at simply being with their married partners, and lying close to them.* * The original of this number is in Swedish, and runs thus:-Swiska lucht, som de aro nar de aro kokade, betyder noje som achta folck hafwa wid sammanlegandet, nemligen sjelwa noje at allenast wara hos sin maka, ligga nar den.
