peer agreement (net): +6tavern bills Explanation: This might be one way of saying it. I am sure there will be others. http://oxoniensia.org/volumes/1969/haslam.pdf -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2011-05-19 13:20:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Referring to a scene from Shakespeare: It was later in this scene, be it remembered, that the portly knight was found fast asleep behind the arras, ‘snorting like a horse,’ and had his pockets searched to the discovery of that tavern bill - not paid we may be sure - which set forth an expenditure on the staff of life immensely disproportionate to that on drink, and elicited the famous ejaculation - ‘But one half-pennyworth of bread to this intolerable deal of sack!’ http://www.buildinghistory.org/primary/inns/inns.shtml -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2011-05-19 13:21:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Marlowe is killed in a Deptford tavern by one of a group of colleagues with whom he has spent the day. The official explanation is a row over the tavern bill, but it is possible that the event relates to his secret service activities. What is certain is that when he dies, short of his thirtieth birthday, he is already an extremely popular playwright with the London audience. http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?P... |
