Of course, one must suppose that the poorer quarters of the town would scarcely be represented on a fabric designed for use in the palace; but the actual remains of a Minoan town, unearthed at Gournia by Mrs. H. B. Hawes, show that that town, at least, was largely composed of houses which must have pretty closely resembled those on the porcelain plaques of Knossos.
The next time they came into the yard they found him black in the face, his lips livid, insensible, throttled, and dying. Another half minute and there would have hung a corpse in the Hawes pillory. When they saw how nearly he was gone they were all at him together.
Alf complained at the load we were expected to carry, and this grieved her. "You know there's nothin' fitten to eat there," she said. "You know that Lum Smith stayed there three days year before last and come home and was sick for a month. Mr. Hawes, I appeal to you make him take it." And off we drove with our bread and roasted chickens.
Now, if you and me was to walk over with yon lad, I could see the captain at the Hawes, or maybe on board the Covenant if there was papers to be signed; and so far from a loss of time, we can jog on to the lawyer, Mr. Rankeillor's. After a' that's come and gone, ye would be swier* to believe me upon my naked word; but ye'll believe Rankeillor.
I was put in here to carry out the discipline which had been relaxed by the late governor, and I have but obeyed orders as it was my duty." "Nonsense," retorted Mr. Eden.

"I have been trying a long time to make him speak, but he was too cunning. It is a lie, is it?" "Yes, it is a lie." "What is a lie?" "The whole thing." "Give me your book, Mr. Hawes.
In fact he came at eleven o'clock, an hour before the others. Had Mr. Hawes expected him so soon, he would have taken Carter down, who was the pilloried one this morning; but he was equal to the emergency. He met Mr.
"Give me your hand on that, sir, for pity's sake," cried Robinson. Mr. Eden gave him his hand and said, firmly, "I will take you out in two hours, please God." Hawes chuckled. "Parson is putting his foot in it more and more. The justices shall know this." This momentary contact with his good angel gave Robinson one little ray of hope for a companion in the cave of darkness, madness, and death.
He saw two owls' faces attempting eagle but not reaching up to sparrow-hawk, and he was silent. He had no hope of being believed; moreover, the grim eye of Hawes rested on him, and no feebleness in it. Messrs. Shallow and Slender, receiving no answer from Josephs, who was afraid to tell the truth, were nettled, and left the cell shrugging their shoulders.
The entire period was thus in substantial agreement that rhetoric was honeyed speech exhibited at its best in the works of the poets. The best example of this view of rhetoric is furnished by Stephen Hawes in his delectable educational allegory of the seven liberal arts which he calls The Pastime of Pleasure . He begins, of course, with an apology for
