the Latin carnavale, meaning a farewell to the flesh.”
(4) She was searching for excitement, but had no intention of bidding her skin good-bye (5) “Carni-val,” the brochure informed her, originated in Europe in the Middle Ages and served as a break from the requirements of daily life and society (6) Most of all, it allowed the hard-working and des-perately poor serfs the opportunity to ridicule their wealthy and normally humorless masters.” (7) Rachel, a middle manager in a computer firm, wasn’t entirely sure whether she was a serf or a master (8) Should she be making fun, or would others be mocking her? (9) She was strangely relieved when the plane landed, as though her fate were decided
