"Caught selling spoiled fish, he had some of his stinking goods hung round his neck like a necklace...Children and even some vengeful housewives followed along, throwing sticks and mud and garbage at the wagon. One old woman threw rotten carrots and onions while another gathered them up in her apron and hurried off to make soup."
From "Catherine Called Birdy" by Karen Cushman
