MARTINS" In tho Drain" they found a
"Lamb" and In the forest of the "King''
they witnessed fight between "Wolf'
and two Lyons" but failed to kill any of
them. As night was approaching and a
blizzard" coming on, they sought shelter
with Fisher" man who lived at the foot
of "Green" "Hill' at tho end of IL
"Lane."
Tho house was poor shelter as IL was not
built by Carpenter" They couldn't
sleep in any of the "Chambers'' as there
was no Register to convey the heat to
them. So they were obliged to Lodge"
in the "Hall" for which they were charged

a one small all "sSmon,", r;a After essing it they
that they might go to the wood "Pyle"
and Norwood" In the morning they
presented their Card to the "Parson"
