What is a scout?
We where reading a book and we came across phrase that didn't mean anything to us.
Let's see if I can remember the line.
Nor did the regal appointment end there; we had a meticulous scout, good meals in the dining hall fortified with liberal doses of passable plonk from the college cellarer's legendary cellars...
I think Plonk is some kind of alcohol and a scout is a person, but what kind of person?
A little background. This is a Oxford Post-grad taking an additional degree talking.
