Still, the farmers looked real
enough and the barmaid wished
us a pleasant, "Good day,"
Could she, we asked timidly,
give us some lunch, Yes, she
could, and soon produced won-

In a few minutes we were all
friends and what fun we had
chatting with those marvellous,
friendly, jolly folk and listening
to the squire, blustering and with
good humor, tell stories of his trip
to 'America' several years ago.
We hated to leave but we had
committed ., ourselves to seeing
St. Albans.
Before we could get our pence
counted to pay for our lunch the
squire had plunked the money
down on the bar saying, "It will
give me the greatest of
pleasure!"
How do you beat warm-hearted
hospitality like that'?
They marked out the route to
St, Albans and we were on our
way.

My eyes were upward on the
intricate carving of the alter
screen when they were pulled
down by a movement in front of
me. Hardly able to believe my
eyes, there sat one of the hugest,
orange cats I have ever seen,
boldly and leisurely, taking his
bath on one of the lovely seats.
As I watched him go through
his spit and polish routine,
oblivious to the splendid setting,
a young man approached.
"His name's Orlando," he
smiled. "Like to hear his story?"
Of course.
"I picked him off the church
steps one night more dead than
alive with his back leg smashed
and with many deep cuts and
gashes. I took him to a veterinary
who cleaned him up, splinted his
leg and sewed up -his cuts."
He went on to say the vet's bill
amounted to 10 pounds (about
$25.00) which the young man
didn't have,
However, being assistant choir
leader, he showed the cat to the
choir boys who immediately took
up the cause and in short order
had raised the fee by doing odd-
jobs. They made him their
mascot and christened him
'Orlando',
Eventually his wounds healed
and there he lives today like a
king on a throne,
"Oh, he pays his way," the
young man said. "He saves us
about forty pence a week by
killing the mice who used to chew
up all our candles."
And that's the story of getting
way-laid in a pub on our way to a
church and of how we met
Orlando.
It could only happen in
England.
Christmas cookies - It's almost time to start making them.
Ever start out for church and
land up in a pub?
No? Well, I have, and I

Don't get me wrong, now. I

circumstances,
One day, in England, we
started for St. Albans to see the
famous abbey there. Somehow or
other (it was really easy) we
Made the wrong turn and became
lost. However, since the road we
took seemed to be taking us into
interesting country we continued
on to see where it led.
It followed an old canal through
excellent agricultural country
and we were surprised to come
upon a windmill with its fans
turning lazily in the breeze.
Apparently, there were a lot of
these old windmills in England at
one time and a few can still be
seen in certain parts of the
country, many of which have
been converted into dwellings,
Interesting, too, is the fact that
the government is considering
opening up the old canals along
which barges used to transport
coal and other produce. It is
thought they could once again be
used for this purpose and
alleviate much of the heavy
transportation on the over-loaded
highways.
But to get back to our drive . ,
this road we were on just kept
wending its way on and on until,
about noon, we came to a country
pub called 'The White Bull'. Since
we wanted to get into a pub
anyway this seemed the logical
time.
The old black door was so low
my husband had to stoop to enter.
Have you ever gone somewhere
and been overcome with the
strange. eerie feeling you've been
there before long ago, just
beyond your memory? Yet, you
know you never have, really,
That's how I felt that day.
Everything looked familiar .
the low, black beamed ceiling
hung with mugs and tankards;
the rows of shining bottles; the
gleaming brass and copper pots;
the ancient swords and long guns
mounted on the walls; the snowy-
white curtains and red fringed
overdrapes at the windows.

On a stool at the bar sat a
country gentleman with ruddy
complexion, bushy mustache,
dressed in well-cut tweeds,
brushed leather walking shoes,
his cane leaning against the bar
and his dog at his feet. Tall, with
a certain ex-martial appearance,
he looked just like an English
country squire should look.
And then I knew what had
happened. We'd walked into a
movie set and this scene before
us wasn't real at all. It was a
setting some one had dreamed
up and built there, perfect in
