AndrewM 0 Posted August 10, 2018 There's a point in the book right before Jude goes to bed where he "lays down the sponge". Michael wasn't sure what that meant and thought it might mean he takes a bath - I'd suggest it's to do with baking. I was surprised a little while ago that some bread I bought listed "sponge" as an ingredient - it turned out that's sort of like a sourdough starter, except the sponge is all fresh ingredients. More info at wikipedia Or it could be a euphemism for what young men do before they go to bed Share this post Link to post

Or when they first wake up. Or even when they're no longer young. Or..... And you'd think the sponge would come afterwards. (Pun TOTALLY intended.) Â Share this post Link to post
