look after-and quite enough, too, for
one man. II a day school teacher We're

there would be a fine old row. Tell
us the delightful story about the church
again, rector. -
Thus a ppealed to, the rector raked up
some ancient village history. a per-
feet example of q Gothic church was
built in the village in the fourteenth
century. Many years ago the lord of
the manor. Lyde by name, began to
pull the church down. He had gone
half way With his destructive mission
when the bishop of the diocese rebuked
him for his Wantonness. As an act of
repentance, Lyde built a temple about u
hundred yards away, with heavy Doric
anu ailN tAiSlS
now used as the parish church, while
the fourteenth century building re-
mains merely an interesting ruin.

continued, "he had her buried under
The left hand arch, and when he died

under the right hand arch, the church

after death"

George Bernard Shaw got up from his
seat, put on a peaked Captain Kettle
cap, the material of which matched
his clothes, slung his binoculars over his
left shoulder, and trotted out. Every
body in Ayot.St. Lawrence knows Shaw
as the village squire. and as none other.
The working men villagers raise their
hats as he passes in token of their adj
miration of the squire. They know
nothing of his plays. or his books. or his
socialism. He is Squire Sha-w-and an
excellent type of squire he Is, quiet. dig-
5nified but not IN the least naughty.
ready always to help the village chill

to tell them enchanting tales OF lions
and tigers, and big elephants. He act

should dressquite neatly and respect
ably. We walked along lanes which had
been trodden for centuries, across mea-
dows as level and as short-cropped as
bowling green's. and through crcaking
gates and SO to the fourteenth century
ruin and the modern ecclesiastical tenn
pie.
