Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Running Horse Inn An ostler, with a red face and a red waistcoat, straw-coloured breeches, and a straw to match them tucked in the corner of a wide, twisted mouth, flung the last drops of water from his bucket over the wheels of the Margate coach. George Kennett wondered if this were the lad whose ears had tingled once under his father´s hand. How well he remembered that drowsy summer afternoon, so long ago! A little, dreamy, queer-tempered boy, George had trotted by his father´s side through the crowded Butter Market and among the hucksters´ stalls set against the very walls of the Cathedral; his feet had clattered noisily through those dim aisles where the years have stored so many memories. "Doan´t shuffle, George. That´s where Becket was killed; you´ve heard tell of him? Hold your head up; I reckon that´s the tenth time I´ve had to tell ´ee. They covered his tomb all over with jewels and gimcracks, and silly folk who didn´t know no better flocked to Canterbury thinking his old bones would save ´em. The monks pretended they had a bit of Aaron´s rod too, and some of the red earth God made Adam out of. That´s what Popery brings people to. How many more times am I going to tell you hold your head up?" "What happened to the jewels, feyther? Were they stolen?"
