Drawer, another stoup of the clary Now, gentle sir, may I make bold to ask news of yourself? I saw, though I spake not before of it, that my Lord Montagu showed a cold face to his kinsman. I know something of these great men, though I be but a small one, a dog is no bad guide in the city he trots through."

The Highlander bids him welcome, but starts with glad surprise as his hand is grasped by the old trapper. "Hah, Jacob Morelle, it is many a weary year since your step turned this way."
All was plain and severe, though scrupulously neat. There was not an ornament in the room, only a crucifix and a holy-water stoup by the side of the bed, and a priest standing by, of the grave and severe aspect which distinguished those connected with Port Royal aux Champs.
"Damn his nipped tongue!" fumed John. "But man! there's a lovable quirk in his character too. There was no doubt the minister's task had many hazards in it, for he carried stave nor steel as he jogged on with the stoup, over the frank open brae-side, down to the well.

Externally should also be noted the vigorous, though defaced, series of gargoyles above the S. porch, representing an amateur orchestra; the remains of a stoup; the curious chamber at the S.E. end of the S. transept. This last is a unique feature; it is supposed to have been the cell of an anchorite. The original doorways communicating with it will be noticed inside.

There I found Sebastian Jaurez who signed me in. I put into my pocket the coin he gave me and drank with him a stoup of wine, and then I went to church.
