Own bed

Haberdashery

Tonight I visited a couple with a young child. Before the child went to bed I read him a story; in of his children’s book I stumbled upon the beautiful but slightly archaic word “haberdashery”.
To die at old age in your own bed is perhaps preferable, but I’d like to die in a haberdashery.
