Literature

Marrow-bones Down on your marrow-bones, i.e. knees. That marrow in this phrase is not a corruption of "Mary," meaning the Virgin, is palpable from the analogous phrase, the marrow-bone stage -- walking. The leg-bone is the marrow-bone of beef and mutton, and the play is on Marylebone (London). Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
