Near the close of a glorious spring
afternoon he stood on the greensward
facing Canterbury cathedral with his
legs planted far apart, his cap on the
back of his head, his hands rammed
deep into his trousers pockets, his
cigar stuck into one corner of his
mouth, and on his face an expression
betokening profound boredom.
The celebrated Canterbury chimes
were ringing for vespers, filing all the
air with silver melody, when side
door of the cathedral opened and there
issued forth a little, plump, pink

approached the visiting stranger and
in cultured tones said to him:
