Ep. 692: Cranford | Chapter 14 Book talk begins at 11:49 Will Miss Matty accept help from her loyal friends? And what’s this about Martha and Jem... and a lodger? --------------------------------------------------------------- 0:00 Episode start 01:30 July Raffle - Botanical Knits: 12 Designs inspired by trees and foliage by Alana Davos of Never Not Knitting 03.14 - This week’s Tea - Gratitude Blend 06:10 - Janine Barchas and Isabel Greenberg’s new book “The Novel Life of Jane Austen: a Graphic Biography” 10:20 We had a very Sad chapter 13, which ended with Miss Matty thinking about Martha. :( 11:49 START BOOK TALK Rubric- The Book of Common prayer printed directions for teh service in red. Hens the Rubric (from the Latin word for ‘Red”) signified someting of importance and later came to mean “injunction” or general rule. REALLY??? LATIN FOR RED???? 13:50 - Mammon - Matthew 6:24, Devil of Covetovness or Demon of Greed (medieval and Milton - lowercase) (in hebrew meant money, modern hebrew. = wealth), , unjust worldly gain - ANNOTATION is partly WRONG, But there WAS a Syrian God of Wealth 19:45 - AAah Voo DEER-ray zhuh - Basically Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - the easiest piece of music one could learn to play. Mozart had done one of his 12 variations (though, personally, I’m partial to Tom Lehrer’s )  21:25 - She could “trace out patterns very nicely for Muslin Embroidery, by dint of placing a piece of silver-paper over the design to be copied, and holding both against the window-pane, while she marked the scollop and eyelet-holes”. ANNOTATION SAYS “Probably which used scalloped edges and a pattern of holes sewn round with thread like a button-hole.“ 22:55 - a Celestial Globe to learn simple astronomy/constellations 24:35 - - think of , but you have to COUNT THE THREADS in a muslin or light canvas backing. Around 1830 v popular to stitch portraits of royalty (again, at least 10 years out of popularity elsewhere, but still popular in Cranford). Printed, gridded patterrns () 27:05 - Under a glass shade - put a glass dome or CLOCHE over things to keep dust off—would have been REALLY important b/c it was DUSTY back then and only got worse in London as the Century went on (also used in gerdening for heat retention) 27:55 - Couchant - lying down in Heraldry Image from Sodacan, CC BY-SA 3.0 , via Wikimedia Commons 28:35 - East India Tea Company - Founded in 1600 by QE1 and held the chartered right to trade with India and China and IMPORT the tea as a monopoly until 1834 (BTW, Twining’s started as a coffee SHOP/Room adding tea in 1717 , bought adjacent building for ladies to take tea(might be Western world‘s oldest dry tea and coffee shop) at No. 216 Strand london in 1706; still operating today - and logo created in 1787 is worlds oldest in continuous use) B/c the EIC’s charter was for trade/importing, anyone could SELL the tea. 31:25 - our mites: Biblical times a mite was the lowest denomination of coin in Judea (two mites = one lepta (thin or small in Greek) which was equivalent to a quadran, the smallest Roman coin), (also see re: the Widow’s Mite where Christ praises the window who gives her last two mites in the temple) Two mites were worth about 1/64th of a denari - a day’s wage for a common worker, toay about 1/8 of a US penny (1 cent) 33:40 - Spills - QUILLING (thank you Aimee!) video of 37:15 - Comfit - nut, seed, etc, covered in sugar coating - link to max miller’s video on Post-chapter Notes 1:25:42 - SSA update - Broader information from and - but don’t feel the need to read other sources.
