It's more a matter of heating. Castles, and even British country 
houses, are notoriously ill-heated. Bed curtains keep the heat in. 
That's what the hot-water-bottles are about, too.

Though Kipling writes against the dangers of "even a curtain in a 
dorm" quoted by me somewhere above in thread, with link to to online 
full text. 

The best magical solution to heating problems is found in a short 
(175 words) Larry Niven story. I won't reproduce it here (for 
copyright rather than length reasons) but go to 
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Olympus/7695/JOKES.HTM's and look 
for "Air Conditioner".
