Khun Sydney.,
- Thank you for reminding me about Hilaire Belloc, (1870-1953.),.
- At every end-of-term concert the head-master of my prep.-school* used to recite one or more of HB's.
Cautionary Tales. - thus Jim, who ran-away and was eaten-up by a lion; Henry King who chewed pieces of string; Matilda who was burnt to death and others became early friends of mine!
-- A Latinist and a Lay Reader, (Cicester.), of the
olde school who used to quote
Holy Scripture frequently, most often:
'He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.', (
Pr. XIII:24.), before suiting the words to the action - ouch!
