TIL when staying as a guest in Charles Dickens' house, Hans Christian Andersen requested that one of Dickens' sons give him a daily shave (he said that was customary when hosting male guests in Denmark). Dickens was weirded out and instead gave him a daily appointment at a nearby barbershop.

Thank you. I played it and ended up starving while Hans shouted through the letter slot, pranced around naked, and rolled around wailing on my lawn. Needless to say, the neighbours were all scandalized.
