Sir Roger—and the Bishop
rs HAVE often thought," says Sir Roger, "it happens very well that Christmas should fall out in the middle of winter. It is the most dead and uncomfortable time of the year, when the poor people would suffer very much from their poverty and cold, if they had not good cheer, warm fires, and Christmas gambols to support them. I love t. rejoice their poor hearts at this season, and to see the whole village merry in
my great hall."

Hemisphere!
