There were the Fridays all through ths

short. the dietary menu dictated bt the

stews and moats. where pike, carp,
perch and still coarse fish could breed,
grow fat, and be utilized for The ble.
The fish were as regularly fed from the

as the doves behind the hall.
Naturalists are aware that both pike
and carp can individually live perhaps
longer than any other kinds of fishes. Be-
