<div>I was reading shakespeare today and the term huswife came up, and I realized it was just a form of house: I think Babbie is like a spirit house<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">.</span></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></blockquote><br><div>Yeah, I knew it was Scandinavian for house.
