Joe, refresh my memory, what did Bette have to say about the divine Mr. Davenport? (even his name is old fashioned, and grandpa like...my grandmother always said 'davenport' rather than sofa or couch) :D :D

Nancy, I believe that Bette said that he was a warm and intelligent gent who she enjoyed talking to at length. They became friends since they were in a few films together including "All This and Heaven Too" and "The Bride Came C.O.D.".

Hey! I say "davenport". Maybe I should change my member name to "Gramps"?

Hi,

Alright class - come to order!!
Nancy - take that gum out of your mouth; & Marco - sit up straight; and Joe - pay attention!!
Now class - teacher Vecchio will give the lesson for the day:

Sofa:
a long seat for sitting with raised back and ends. Usually stationery. Persion word.

Divan:
a long seat with cushions for reclining, often used as a portable bed. Persion & Turkish word.

Davenport:
large upholstered sofa or portable divan. Seat cushions only. English word derived from divan & port, meaning transportable seat.

Chesterfield:
overstuffed sofa with cushions on seat, back and ends. Not portable; named for the Earl of Chesterfield, an English aristocrat.

Chesterfield is used in Canada as is sofa.
Davenport was used in Britain and USA but not so much now.
