None of these is the slightest bit believable, but I'll vote for the
ridiculous, unspecified door latch and the period of mourning, 10 and 11:


> 10. Â*a kind of door latch.

> 11. Â*a time of deep mourning for families of a deceased person in
> Victorian times, the number of days varying according to the degree
