In Vantassel, Winthrop contrived to possess himself of a Greek lexicon and a Graeca Majora, and also a Greek grammar, though the only one he could get that suited his purse was the Westminster grammar, in which the alternatives of Greek were all Latin.

_That_ did not stagger him.

He came home rich in his classical library, and very resolved to do something for himself this winter.
The day after his return from Vantassel, just as they had done supper, there was a knock at the front door.

Winthrop went to open it.

There he found a man, tall and personable, well- dressed though like a traveller, with a little leathern valise in his hand.
