Perhaps, Mr Singh, you can explain Colonel Severn's allusion without turning my words into a subject for buffoonery." Singh looked questioningly at Glyn. "I am speaking to you, Mr Singh," continued the Doctor angrily. "Have the goodness to reply yourself. You can do so without Mr Severn's aid."

Acasia House being Miss Severn's destination, the two cars wound their way in and out of the beautiful campus driveway. At the center drive they separated, Vera taking her car straight to Wayland Hall on account of Selma, Nella and Hortense.

"There was a priest in the land, who was named Layamon; he was son of Leovenath may the Lord be gracious to him! he dwelt at Ernley, at a noble church upon Severn's bank, good it there seemed to him near Radestone, where he books read.

Of Mortimer, in "changing hardiment with great Glendower": "Three times they breathed, and three times did they drink, Upon agreement, of swift Severn's flood."
