Verdi. it appears is partly responsible
for it, the Falstaff Of his last opera
having been SO much better a knight
than the old Eastcheap blowhard Of
Shakespeare, that the tailors who re-
tailor the personages Of history saw at
once their chance to put Jack into a
new suit. They identified the poets
figmcnt with real Sir John, who,
they declare, was born at Caistercastlo,
Norfolk, in 1877. went to France as a
squire. at 16, distinguished himself as
a brave soldier and founded colleges.
He ran away from Joan or Arc, at
Orleans, however, and the shame of
this one action, surviving all his other

for the theory, we are afraid this Gals
