The man in whose rooms he was lodging possessed very few books, and those few were mostly detective stories. It amused Mark to make a fool of himself next morning in the general knowledge paper. He flattered himself that no candidate for a scholarship at St. Osmund's Hall had ever shown such black ignorance of the facts of every-day life.
It was really only a kind of affectation of indifference. I'm feeling pretty sore with myself for being such a failure; but I'll have another shot and I hope I shall do better." Mark as a last chance tried for a close scholarship at St. Osmund's Hall for the sons of clergymen. "It's a tiny place of course," said the Rector.
Only the four vessels bound together Estein's, Thorkel's, Liot's, Osmund's swept in an unresisting cluster towards the rocks. Liot too saw the danger, and raised his voice in a great shout: "Let not man of mine touch an oar till Estein Hakonson lie dead on yonder deck. We have yet time to slay them. Forward, Liot's men!" There was a wild and furious rush of men towards the poop.
Osmund's Hall, and whatever questions he asked related to the ancient folios and quartos he took down in turn from his shelves. A clock struck ten in the moonlight without, and Mark rose to go.
Osmund's Hall, bade farewell to Oxford, he regretted for a while his surrender of the scholarship to Emmett. What was Emmett doing now? Had his stammer improved in the confidence that his success must surely have brought him? Mark made an excuse to forsake the company of the four or five men in whose charge he had been left.
The slab of the Saint-Bishop Osmund's tomb , one of those wantonly interfered with by Wyatt and a relic of the Cathedral of Old Sarum, has been brought from the nave to its present position near the end of the north choir aisle and not far from its former magnificent shrine. The chief beauty of the Lady Chapel consists in the slender shafts of Purbeck marble that support the roof.
Osmund's Hall. When Mark had been exactly a week at Chatsea he celebrated his eighteenth birthday by writing a long letter to the Rector of Wych: St. Agnes' House, Keppel Street, Chatsea. St. Mark's Day. My dear Rector, Thank you very much for sending me the money. Poor chap, he's desperately ill with asthma, and nobody thinks he can live much longer.
So she came and sat by Thora, taking her hand and kissing her, and we told her what Osmund's thoughts were. "There is such enmity between Saxon and Dane," Thora said, "that it is not likely that the king will trust one who will wed one of his foe's daughters."
Osmund's Hall with its miniature quadrangle, miniature hall, miniature chapel, empty of undergraduates and with only the Principal and a couple of tutors in residence, was more like an ancient almshouse than an Oxford college.
Nevertheless he was apt to rage somewhat when things went in slovenly wise. So Odda helped me through with Osmund's thanks, and I was glad. I was glad also that the horns blew for the feast, so that no more could be said about the Wareham doings. Now I sat close to King Alfred at the feast, and saw much of his ways with men.
