Hhe was gentleman, his home COM
sisted Of hall, with little rooms On the
outside surrounded by IN earthwork.
The rude walls Of the hall were covered
with some sort of hAnRfles, on which
were hung arms and trophies of the
chase. The floor was Of earth strewn
with rushes. Fire was made id the
middle Of the hall and the smoke,
found its woy out Of little hole in the
roof.
In this rude hall he breakfastod at
nine and dined at three o'clock. Il was
considered disgraceful for q gentleman
to dine alone. Everybody was welcomed
with lavish hospitality.

A Norman baron is reported to have
bcen so liospitable that he. turned the
kings highway through the middle Of
the hall Of his manor. He did so IN
order that no traveller might have an
excuse for passing without partaking Of
his hospitality.
Seated on high wooden seat, the
Anglo Saxon gentleman presided st his
dinner OF boiled bacon, which, with
bread and Vegetable, mead and beer,
was the principal dish. Quantity made
up for the deficiency IN quality.
He and his guests drank heavily.
Drunkenness and sloth marked his daily
life. Drinking cups were SO nindS as
not to stand upright. They had to be
erdptied at o draught. Buckets were
used to carry the mead or oil to the
guests. When the Saxon gentleman OF
lady slept, he rested on o bench upon
which sack filed with straw had been
placed. Neither he nor his wife wore
night-dress. N~-
The change from these rude customs
into more refined style Of living was
due to the Norman conquest. It poll
ished the Saxons' manners, aud infused
into their sloth the energy characteristic
Of the English race. The transition re-
quired time. For . long period the Sax
ons resisted the advance of the refined
Norman manners and customs, ~ re-

but effective. The unmarried Normane
