It was the custom of an Oxfordshire couple to use a bed-warming pan. Much to the annoyance of her husband who was sure of some day being burnt, the wife (who was always last to retire owing to curling papers, etc.) used to put the pan into bed again before getting in herself. One night she thought she would play a joke on him. so she filled the pan with snow and then put it in the bed against the good man—who gave one jump and then said: “ There ye be I I knowed ye'd burn me!”
