The Attache

CHAPTER XII
4/15

On the one over the altar was a very old painting, on stained glass, of the Virgin, with a hoop and yellow petticoat, crimson vest, a fly cap, and very thick shoes.

The light of this window was still further subdued by a fine old yew-tree, which stood in the yard close behind it.
There was another window of beautifully stained glass, the light of which fell on a large monument, many feet square, of white marble.

In the centre of this ancient and beautiful work of art, were two principal figures, with smaller ones kneeling on each side, having the hands raised in the attitude of prayer.

They were intended to represent some of the ancestors of the Merton family.

The date was as old as 1575.
