@Mame,
Training which enhances the appreciation of feminine sensibilities. It was Sturgie's use of "euonymus" that inspired me. The shrub is also called the spindle or spindle tree. And the spindle-side is the female chain of descent. It's an anachronism, I suppose, now that you're all out there ceiling busting.
It was an answer to his implied charge that I fall short in these respects. How would I have thought of "alarmingly" without the experience.
