These limits commenced at a meridian, 30 or 40 degrees westwards from that of the city of Toledo, and proceeded from thence to the west; so that allowing 17-1/2 leagues to a degree, this allotment contains 3700 Spanish leagues in breadth, between east and west . Columbus, whom the Spaniards call Colon, to adapt his name to their language, was born in Genoa, his fathers name being Dominick.
But he was chiefly disposed to prefer the Kilwinning road, though it was several miles more of bout-gait, on account of the rich abbacy in that town, hoping he might glean and gather some account how the clergy there stood affected, the meeting with Dominick Callender having afforded him a vista of friends and auxiliaries in the enemy's camp little thought of.
I was dosed and plastered and put to bed at 8:30 to make up for all the sleep I'd lost at the other end of the day. "And we'll not bother any more about the silly old flowers," says she. "If Dominick can't find time to do the spading we'll just let it go." "No," says I, firm and heroic. "I'm no quitter, Vee. I said I'd get it done within three days and I stick to it."
