Drawing=withdrawing   Written by Barbara (9/20/2006 5:31 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, On second thought I have more questions on the cottage., penned by Therése
Are you new?

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the word 'drawing' room came from the word 'withdrawing', as in a place to withdraw and sit after a meal, etc.
