Now My Skin Will Not Fall Through; Rhoda's Bed by Charlie is made up with paper and milk bed linen, including this beautifully folded quilt. Rhoda in The Waves by Virginia Woolf believes that if she can keep her toes hooked around the end of the bed frame, she will save herself from falling through into nothingness, and this bed "attempts to hold her body in place". As Charlie explains, Virginia Woolf herself was regularly confined to bed and was subjected to the 'rest cure' and force-feeding treatment advocated by Silas Weir Mitchell.
