salvo-firing

Updated: August 29, 2026

Of the doings of next day the great day; of the feasting, the cheering, the salvo-firing, the marching, the counter-marching, the speechifying, the tea-drinking, the dancing, the illuminations, the bonfires; the tale may not be told here. Were they not chronicled, by this hand, in a book apart? And does not the chronicle repose in the Troy Parish Chest?

Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch - Hocken and Hunken
