The rope was thus a clue, because the person in the bed thought she could summon help but she could not.

What is the name for the woolly tassel on a bell rope?
We certainly had tassels on Bell-ropes when I was in the RN. They were called "tassels". The tassels were not separate from the rope but made by un-laying and spreading the fibres making-up the end of the bell rope. Many bellropes, perhaps most, did not have a tassel. Bell ropes were made by a rating on-board who enjoyed and was well practised in rope work. I made one myself and was given it when I left HMS Obdurate. I still have it.
