a New York man, who spends q
portion of the summer each year in
England, tells an amusing incident in
connection with his first visit to Rich
mond castle. On that occasion he was
accompanied by guide who relied for
his information mainly on a guide
book. which, from time to time, he
would furtively consult If he thought
the visitor was not looking his way.
What is the height of this fine old
keep" asked the New Yorker.
According to hist'ry' replied the
guide, its ninetytwo feet"
Similar replies were made to other
questions Of like nature, each being
vouchsaftd with the assurance that
it was according to hist'ry.''
Finally there was reached a part Of
the battlements where the hill on
which the castle stands descends alb
ruptly to the river.
Pretty steep descent?' exclaimed
the American.
