Lock had lately made on these words: "Domine salvum fac Regem" Here out of the window it was a most pleasant sight to see the City from one end to the other with a glory about it, so high was the light of the bonfires, and so thick round the City, and the bells rang every where. 22nd.

H., I said you see, he was going to leave the front plain, and I said to him, 'It's all very well to have modern lighting and a big display-space, I said, 'but when you get that in, you want to have some architecture, too, I said, and he laughed and said he guessed maybe I was right, and so he had 'em put on a cornice."
