WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: What is the origin
and significance of being "given
a Roland for his OliverP"-
Gordon s. Wilson. Scottdale,
Pa.
Answer: Roland and Oliver
were two Of the IL paladins or
peers Of the court Of Charlie
magne. AS such they partici-
pated In many heroic adven-
lures and they repeatedly
matched each other in feats OF
bravery. Eventually the two
heroes met in hand-to-hand
combat and fought for five
consecutive days-to a draw.
Thus the expression "a Ro-
land for his Oliver" came TO
mean "tit for tat"
