This walk was appropriated to my father.

Book in hand, he would, on fine days, pace to and fro, often stopping, dear man, to jot down a pencil-note, gesticulate, or soliloquize.

And there, when not in his study, my mother would be sure to find him.

In these deambulations, as he called them, he had generally a companion so extraordinary that I expect to be met with a hillalu of incredulous contempt when I specify it.

Nevertheless I vow and protest that it is strictly true, and no invention of an exaggerating romancer.
It happened one day that my mother had coaxed Mr.Caxton to walk with her to market.
