chattius 2,519 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 sweet sixteen -> Quatorzième Oldest was sixteen when she was asked by local earl's wife to be a Quatorzieme because a guest got ill. I was puzled and was told: In 19th century France, there was a profession with the title "Quatorzième " (the fourteenth). This was a professional guest who was invited to social events whenever only thirteen guests were invited to sit at the table. The 14th 'guest' helped to avoid any misfortune which may have arisen from having such an unlucky number of guests. 1 Link to comment
