The Cathedral is very noble, with many remarkable monuments. On the table lay the Nuremberg Chronicle, I think, of the first edition. We went to the china warehouse. The Cathedral has a cloister.
'Thomas Sandys's chair, they call it, and they sit down in it reverently. They winna even leave you the piano. 'Was this Thomas Sandys's piano? they speir. 'It was, says I, and syne they gowp at it." His under lip shot out, a sure sign that he was angry.
