THE CHRONICLE OF CLEMENDY

savour or pleasant discoursing, lay it not up to my poor wit (or at least in but a small degree) but to Your Grace's entertainment and familiarity. And let it please you, my Lord, to be assured of this: that the butler may always set a cup and trencher on the board for me, since (unlike to some others) I shall never scorn Your Grace's hospitality:

But do now, and ever shall remain
Your Grace's most obliged,
humble servant,

ARTHUR MACHEN, Silurist.
