He asked Mark's permission to do so, that he might make a few mental notes of distances for the coming night.

When one of his friends gave him a leaf of St. Mark's Gospel, printed in embossed characters, he endeavored to read it by passing his fingers over the letters as blind children do. His brother George was now very kind, and spent so much time in the darkened chamber that Edward often insisted upon his going out to play.
