Ummm... I'm not sure I understand. I actually borrowed the idea from "Uncle Tom's Cabin", TBH.

Apols, that's what I meant - the idea or trick (wrinkle) of staining someone's skin with walnut oil, it's an idea I haven't seen in a modern work - but it fits perfectly with the timeframe of your story.

I think the last thing I saw it used in was Kizzy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kizzy_(TV_series)), which was based on a book published in 1972, and harked back to much older ways.
