Saint Elizabeth's College was a hundred years older than its neighbour Saint Mary's, as was evident to practised eyes by its arches and windows, but it had been so entirely eclipsed by Wykeham's foundation that the number of priests, students, and choir-boys it was intended to maintain, had dwindled away, so that it now contained merely the Warden, a superannuated priest, and a couple of big lads who acted as servants.
Among the rebellious boys are our best singers, and particularly young Anana, who leads the voices of the choir-boys. "I will examine the silly fellows at once. Rameri Rameses' son was among the young miscreants?" "He seems to have been the ring-leader," answered Septah. Ameni looked at the old man with a significant smile, and said: "The royal family are covering themselves with honor!
He went to the cathedral durin' service, an' took in the priests and choir-boys in their surplices, parkas, he called 'em, an' watched the burnin' of the holy incense. 'An' do ye know, Dave, he sez to me, 'they got in an' made a smudge, and there wa'n't a darned mosquito in sight." "True, ivery word iv it." Matt unblushingly fathered Harney's yarn.
The time was Lent, the eve of Good Friday, but the 'Golden Canon' had forgotten the season in his perturbation and his desire to show hospitality to a distant cousin newly arrived from America, who was full of curiosity and admiration of the city and cathedral of Saint Cuthbert. His other guest was a Minor Canon who had just been appointed to instruct and train the choir-boys of the cathedral.

Sundays, at church, they form laughing groups, agitated, with hips a little pointed, elegant necks, flowery smiles, and inflaming glances. And all bend, with the suppleness of young animals, at the passage of a priest whose head resembles that of Vitellius, and who carries the chalice, preceded by two choir-boys."
Yes, perhaps; but all through the failure he struggled to give expression to that of which his soul was full; and I do not doubt that even then they who heard him somehow understood him. We pass from those first words to the last, those of which I spoke a moment ago, the address to the choir-boys at Newton, was there ever such, an address to choir-boys before?
The funeral ceremony of the dean was still in course, and after listening for a moment to the mighty orchestral music of it the deep bass of the priests swelling up with the organ notes, and suddenly shot with the shrill, sharp trebles of the choir-boys and pierced with the keen strains of the violins we left the cathedral to the solemn old ecclesiastics who sat confronting the bier, and once more deferred our more detailed and intimate wonder.
"There are two of those choir-boys on the grass again," he said. "If Ryle doesn't keep them in better order, I'll let him know what I think of him. He's always promising and never does anything." The last talk of their lives alone together was ended. He had made all his plans.
'Only a holly tree! Just like the giant's daughter when she only carried off waggon, peasant, oxen, and all in her pinafore. 'It is not longer than my finger now!
