And what\u2019s 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\u2019s Tea - Gratitude Blend https:\/\/bit.ly\/craftlit-pdtea 06:10 - Janine Barchas and Isabel Greenberg\u2019s new book \u201cThe Novel Life of Jane Austen: a Graphic Biography\u201d 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 \u2018Red\u201d) signified someting of importance and later came to mean \u201cinjunction\u201d 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 Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman - 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\u2019m partial to Tom Lehrer\u2019s Clementine)  21:25 - She could \u201ctrace 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\u201d. ANNOTATION SAYS \u201cProbably broderie anglaise which used scalloped edges and a pattern of holes sewn round with thread like a button-hole.\u201c 22:55 - a Celestial Globe to learn simple astronomy\/constellations https:\/\/fi.edu\/en\/science-and-education\/collection\/celestial-globe 24:35 - Wool-work and counting threads - think of needlepoint and petit-point, 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 (Beeton\u2019s Book of Needlework) 27:05 - Under a glass shade - put a glass dome or CLOCHE over things to keep dust off\u2014would 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 https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/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\u2019s started as a coffee SHOP\/Room adding tea in 1717 , bought adjacent building for ladies to take tea(might be Western world\u2018s 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\u2019s 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 Mark 12:43 re: the Widow\u2019s 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\u2019s wage for a common worker, toay about 1\/8 of a US penny (1 cent) 33:40 - Spills - QUILLING (thank you Aimee!) video of making Quilled spills 37:15 - Comfit - nut, seed, etc, covered in sugar coating - link to max miller\u2019s video on Sugar Plums Post-chapter Notes 1:25:42 - SSA update - Broader information from Snopes and SSA-specific update - but don\u2019t feel the need to read other sources.
