arras- a wall hanging, curtain or tapestry, named after Arras. Also a curtain on stages and in theatres.

Notably featured in 'Hamlet', where Polonius is stabbed through his arras...

'Hamlet' , Act III Scene IV:

Hamlet: Come, come, and sit you down. You shall not budge.
You go not till I set you up a glass
Where you may see the inmost part of you.

Queen: What wilt thou do? Thou wilt not murder me?
Help, help, ho!

Polonius: [behind arras.] What, ho! help, help, help!

Hamlet: [drawing sword.] How now! A rat? Dead, for a ducat, dead! Kills POLONIUS [through the arras].

Polonius: [behind.] O, I am slain!

Queen. O me, what hast thou done?

Hamlet: Nay, I know not.
Is it the King?

Queen: O, what a rash and bloody deed is this!

Hamlet: A bloody deed! Almost as bad, good mother,
As kill a king, and marry with his brother.

Queen: As kill a king!

Hamlet Ay, lady, ’twas my word. [Lifts up the arras and discovers POLONIUS.]

Thou wretched, rash, intruding fool, farewell!

Depends- because Damascene swords were also known as Damask blades- like Toledo blades.

Anyone for drinkies ?

Madeira: one of an island group settled and developed by the Portuguese. The islands are renowned for their gardens, gorges, sweet wine and embroidery.

America grew fond of the wine from Madeira and became one of its biggest customers, buying nearly a quarter of all the wine produced here. By the 18th century, the British American and West Indian colonies, drank it as their only wine. Not only was it the preferred wine, but it was so highly thought of that five years before the Boston Tea Party, it caused a riot on the docks of that city when British customs officials tried to impose duties on a shipment of Madeira. It was used to toast the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and in 1789, at the inauguration of George Washington..
