    Fun fact: The expression "tie the knot" (meaning to get married) comes from a reference to nets of knotted string that supported mattresses prior to the invention of metal-sprung bed frames. Hence, in order to make a marriage bed, the couple needed to tie the ropes into knots.

      @Jeffhowardmeade Год назад

      If it helps at all, her name was pronounced "hate-away". Shakespeare puns on it in Sonnet 145.
      Those lips that Love’s own hand did make
      Breath’d forth the sound that said “I hate,”
      To me that languish’d for her sake:
      But when she saw my woeful state,
      Straight in her heart did mercy come,
      Chiding that tongue that ever sweet
      Was used in giving gentle doom;
      And taught it thus anew to greet;
      “I hate” she alter’d with an end,
      That follow’d it as gentle day
      Doth follow night, who, like a fiend,
      From heaven to hell is flown away;
      “I hate” from hate away she threw,
      And sav’d my life, saying “not you.”

    Fun Fact!! The saying 'Night Night don't let the bed bugs bite' relates to the era when beds were made with straw and it had bugs/insects in the straw/hay. 😱

    • @LurkerSmurf

      Also, the "sleep tight" part of the rhyme refers to tying the support ropes taut to keep the bed off the floor and yet more bugs.

    Thank you for the tour! I went to the Anne Hathaway cottage 55 years ago when I was 20 years old. Now pushing 75 years old but I don't remember the interior! I remember the outside and garden and took pictures of it. Maybe it was closed the day we visited? So this was very interesting and fun to see where I had once walked in my youth!
