Her "Patroclus" must remain unwritten. The sob caught and clutched at her throat at last. "Oh," she cried in a half-whisper "oh, my chance, my hopes, my foolish little hopes! And now this!

A bag was in one space and a rug in another, an umbrella booked a third, and so on. Nobody was there, but the seats were gone! It is the unwritten law among travellers that a man's luggage deposited upon a seat, shall secure that seat to him until he comes to sit upon it himself.

Nothing else seems to be known of Ayres though a head carved under the west window of the chapter-house is said to be his but in a country so long illiterate as Portugal, where unwritten stories have been handed down from quite distant times, it is possible that oral tradition may be as true as written records. Now it is known that João de Castilho was working at Alcobaça in 1519.
It may be an unwritten Scripture, but it is in every good daughter's heart, Richard." The squire did not again name to him the succession to Hallam. Antony's proposal had become the dearest hope of the old man's heart. He wished to live that he might see the estate honorably restored to his son.
