"It has quite a churchy sound," he remarks; "I never noticed how churchy before, but it reminds me of some other bell. Ten years I have read for them here, and I never noticed it before."

We no longer write of ideæ, chori, asyla, musea, sphinges, specimina for ideas, choruses, asylums, museums, sphinxes, specimens, and the notion of returning to such plurals would seem barbarous and absurd. And yet this very process is now going on, and threatens us with deplorable results.

For we were to see, we lads, what ne'er had met our eyes before, the very earth open to save us, and this by no miracle save man's skill given by God to devise wise and cunning shifts for those in peril. Lo! the abbot stood, in medio chori, noble and calm, and the sad strains of Miserere rolled down the aisle.
