As it was managed by me, no one except the passengers that came over with us, and dispersed from Liverpool all over the Continent, knew anything about her arrival. At the Crown and Miter she was half a mile in distance and half a thousand miles in degree from anyone connected with our circle.
"The bishop," said Jacques Haret, as we strolled along, "is one of those ecclesiastics who expect to appear in full canonicals velvet robe, jeweled crozier and shining miter before the judgment seat of God. Peggy Kirkpatrick thinks the Archangel Michael keeps the family tree of the Kirkpatricks always in mind. You may imagine how Peggy and the bishop agree.
In the old romance of “Sir Degrevant,” we are told that at the marriage of the hero there came “Archbishops with rings More than fifteen.” “Lay doun thy cross, and thy staff, Thy miter, and thy ring, that I to thee gaff: Out of my land thou flee.”
But two days after the Miter Hill game an incident occurred which proved him wrong in thinking that no one knew or cared whether he reported for practice. That morning's Greek had gone unusually badly for Clint and Mr. Simkins had kept him after class and talked some plain talk to him. When Clint's final recitation of the day was over at three he was out-of-sorts and depressed.
"Come on over to the room, you fellows." Canterbury, having cheered the victor wholeheartedly, romped home. Miter Hill School followed Canterbury the next Saturday and was an unexpectedly weak opponent. The contest was slow and lifeless and dragged its weary length along until almost twilight.
Instead of halting at the palatial Adelphia, we halted at the obscure Crown and Miter." "Ha, ha, ha! Good! that was very good! But why did you do this? Not that I care for her. I care not. But my curiosity. And it must have inconvenienced you, this squalor." "Well, it did.
And thus, with Christianity on the quarter-deck, and paganism on the forecastle, the Irrawaddy ploughed the sea. As if to symbolize this state of things, the "fancy piece" astern comprised, among numerous other carved decorations, a cross and a miter; while forward, on the bows, was a sort of devil for a figure-head a dragon-shaped creature, with a fiery red mouth, and a switchy-looking tail.
The essential tools include: Brace and auger bit, for boring holes in doors and windows. Needed for a short time only. Compass saw, for sawing out doors and windows. Crosscut saw, for sawing off lumber. School should own at least one. Miter box, for holding lumber and guiding saw. An old one, good enough for children's use, will frequently be contributed by a carpenter.
The good old bishop walks humbly in the rear, in full canonical rig, with crosier and miter, his rich robes upborne by priestly attendants, his splendid footman at a respectful distance, and his roomy carriage not far behind. The procession is well spread out and long; all its members carry lighted tapers, a good many of which are not lighted, having gone out in the wind.
The screwed boring spindle, which is in front of the machine, is actuated by miter gearing driven by a six horse power engine; the speed of driving is 400 revolutions a minute. The pump shown on the left-hand side of the engraving is used to deliver a constant stream of water through the boring bar, the connection being made by a flexible hose.
