You have to eat that whole chocolate, just to get the drop of cognac inside.

Oh, man. What deep pit have I stumbled into this time? My apologies to both of you. But, in fact, Wikipedia suggests that it was these stupid American hoomins (not me) who contorted the word longue to lounge (i.e., not my fault that I live with these cretins). And a chaise longue (see, I can learn new things) seems to differ from a couch only in the number of humps on which to lay my head when I wish to chase squirrels. So there!

Reminiscent of Hyacinth Bucket (Pronounced Bouquet and no, not a trebuchet) from Keeping up Appearances, whose cherished 3-piece suite surely included a sofa, loveseat and chair.

Read further in that wiki entry.

The Davenport desk should not be confused with the Davenport sofa, which is usually a modern combination sofa and bed or an antique form of upholstered sofa based on a design conceived at the beginning of the 20th century by a Boston company called Irving and Casson and Davenport

Both seem to be correct definitions.
