I say 'Maudlin' but it could be pronounced as written. I don't think it
makes any difference how you pronounce it as long as people understand
you. There are enough people in this world who think they are better
than others because they were born with a bit of money and land that
their ancestors stole from Jo Public hundreds of years ago.

It's Magdalen as in Mary Magdalen
