On Just such an April day, when shepherds pipe on uaten straws, Shakespeare For Sore Feet-iutrd'. ciriiTr, Jock and Mhor were in the highest spirits. It seemed to them enormous fun to be staying in an hotel, and not an ordinary square up-and-down hotel, but a rambling place with little stairs in unexpected places, and old parts and new parts, and bedrooms owning names, and a lung, low-roofed draw- ing-room with a window at the far end that opened right out to tl:r. stable-yard through whieh pleasur- tries could be exchanged with groom; ' CHAPTER XXIV.

Jock and Mhor had " mum with two beds, rather ir congrunusly called "Anthony and Cleopatra." Jock was inclined to be affronted, and said it was a silly-looking thing to put him in a room called after such an amor- ous couple. If it had been Tourhstorw, or Mercutio. or even Shylock. hr: would not have minded, but the pilgrims of love got scant sympathy from that sturdy misogynist. The lights of the Shakespeare Hotel shone cheerily as they came for, ward. A "boots" with u. wrinkled, whimsical face came out to help them in. Shaded lights and fitxrs (for the evenings were chilly) made a bright welcome, and they were led across the stone-paved hall with its oaken rafters, gate-legged tables, and bowls of spring Rowers, up a steep little staircase. hung with old prints of the plays, down winding passages to the rooms tallotted to them. Jean looked eagerly at the name on her door. "Hdrraht. Pve got 'rtusaji%y wanted her most of all." It was quite dark when they reach- ed Stratford. To Jean it seemed strange and delicious thus to outer Shakespeare's own town, the Avon a- glimmer under the moon, the kingcups an.1the gaisies attleert in thp meadows. The car ran splendidly that day--- David said it was getting into its stride-and they got to Oxford for tea and had time to go and see David's rooms before they left for Stratford. But David would let them see nothing else. "No," he said; "it would be a shame to hurry over your first sight. You must come here after Stratford. I'll take rooms for you at the Mitre. I want to show you Oxford on a May mqrning." .
