SIR NIGEL" is a romantic tale of the loves and
adventures of Nigel Loring, young English
man of heroic ancestry, who took up the sword to
mend the fallen fortunes of his noble house the year
after the great plague devastated England in the
fourteenth century.
Nigel and his grandmother are the sole survivors
of the family, and the Cistercian monks of Waiver
ley Abbey threatening to eject them from
poses, and finally is forciby taken prisoner to
Waverley to be tried because he has thrown the
summoner into a morass and destroyed some legal
papers that were being served
He is sentenced to bread and water for six weeks
with daily exhortation from the chaplain. The
indignant Squire defes the guards Just as he
is about to be shot down he is Joined in
his retreat by Samkin Awkward, bowman As
one of the most valiant knights of King Edward,
arrives in search of Nigel, announcing that his
majesty is coming to spend the night at his house
The enmlty OF the monks Is at once transformed
into servilty, and Nigel leaves in the company of
Chandos, followed by Aylward who determines
to be in the young Squres train.
The royal train draws near to the Loring man
sion; but is halted near the river by Chandos who
bridge he promises the King and knights some
sport.
The knight on guard is Nigel in his fathers
huge suit of armor offering to contest the right of
the bridge with any member of the Kings train.
He defeats Widdicombe, Sir Walter Mannys
Squire Sir Hubart de Burgh next tries his skill but
his horse is frightened and away with him.
Nanny himself then goes against Nigel with such
force that he knocks him from his horse. The
head flies off of his armor and rolls away. The
CONSERVATION of the party is pitiable until Nigel is
discovered safely slowed in the lower part OF the
huge suit.

see a swarm of foxes, how would you call
| it?"
"A skulk of foxes
And if they be 1ions?"
NAY, fair sir, am not like to meet
several lions in Woolmer Forest"
Aye, lad, but there are other forests
besides Woolmer, and other lands besides
England, and who can tell how far
afield such knight Grant as Nigel of
Ti1ford may go, when he sees worship
to be won? We will say that you were
in the deserts of Nubia, and that after
ward at the court of the great Sultan
you wished to say that you had seen
several lions, which is the first beast of
the chase being the king of all animals.
How then would you say it,"
Nigel scratched his head Surely
fair sir, l would be content to say that
had seen a number of lions, if indeed
l could say aught after so wondrous
an adventure.
Nay, Nigel, huntsman would have
said that he had seen a pride of lions, and
so proved that he knew the language of
the chase. Now had it been bears instead
of lions?"
"One says singular of boars."
And if they be swine?"
Surely it is herd of swine.
NAY, nay, lad, it is indeed sad to
see how little you know. Your hands,
Nigel, were always better than your
head No man of gentle birth would
speak of herd of swine; that is the
peasant speech. If you drive them it
is herd. If you hunt them it is other.
What call you them then, Edith"
Nay, l know not, said the girl list
lessly. A crumpled note brought in by
varlet was clenched in her right hand
and her blue eyes looked afar into the
deep shadows of the roof.
But you can tell us, Mary?"
Surely, sweet sir, one talks of a
sounder of swine"
The old Knight laughed exultant1y.
Here is a pupil who never brings me
shameI" he cried. Be it lore of chiva1ry
or heraldry or woodcraft or what you
will, l can always turn to Mary. Many
man can she put to the blush"
Myself among Them said Nigel.
"Ah, lad, you are a Solomon to some
of them. Hark ye! only last week that
jack-fool, the young Lord of Brocas, was
here talking of having seen a covey Of
pheasants in the wood. One such speech
would have been the ruin of a young
Squire at the court. How would you
have said it, Nigel"
Surely, fair sir, it should be a nye
of pheasants.
Good, NIGGA nye of pheasants,
even as it is gaggle of geese, or bading
of ducks, fall of woodcock or wisp of
snipe. But covey of pheasants! What
sort of talk is that? | made him sit
even where you are sitting, Nigel and l

Explanatory Notes

THE war in which Edward ILL.,, King of England
was then engaged is known the Hundred
Years War. 1t began in 1888, with Edward laying
claim to the French throne-he the of
Edward II. and Isabella of France In 1860 he
renounced the French crown, retaining four large
Provinces; but subsequently in a with Charles
V. he lost all his possessions in France with the
exception of Calais, Bordeaux and Bayonne. PR
to the French Wars King Edward espoused the
cause of Edward de Ballot, who laid claim to the
crown of Scotland on the death of Robert Bruce
in 1929. In 1916 Edward defeated the Scots
under David Bruce, who had finally wrested the
crown from Ballot in 1912, but the vanquished
maintained their independence. 81

born in 1880 and died in 1876, little more than
year before his father the King. 1t is historical
fact that Sir John Chandos saved the life of the
Black Prince at the Battle of Poitiers, where in
1856 an English army of eight thousand defeated
the French army of sixty thousand and took their
King prisoner. But their greatest battle was that
of Crecy, held to be one of the worlds twelve
