Perhaps fewer than three bedrooms Written by Tracy W (4/29/2008 2:58 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, L&T Question - The Bates' Place..., penned by Moni

I think it possible that the Bates's apartment had less than three bedrooms. It was a lot more common in past generations to share rooms, and even beds. Jane and her sister Cassandra shared a bedroom even when they could have both a bedroom and a dressing room.
