l174, Walter, prior of st. Swithin's,

monks of Dorchester, in Oxfordshire,

Psalter" for II measures of barley

The countess of Anjou paid for a
copy of the "Homilies of Haimon,"
bishop of Halberstadt, 200 sheep, five
quarters of wheat and the same guam

The helplessness that a man feels

he but the guide who is at fault. The

"But now the sun was dipping

The eagerness with which the
guide raced up each new eminence,
the strained hopefulness of his stare,
the slow disappointment you could
read in the relaxed limbs, the fresh
hope renewed, but each time fainter,
with which he dashed for the next
prospect-he was at fault. Tony eve !
