years later. if the".. inscription re-
ferred to Dick Whittington of pan-
tonli#ne tame, why was a stone
erected to a fictional character, and
haw d�d�the -real' Dick Whittington
compare with his legendary name-
sake?.
The legend, said Lloyd, had many
versions • but it was generally ac-
copied that Dick Whittington, a
poor country boy, went to London
• .gnu
to seek his fortune,H:o f d a
job in Alderman: Fitzwarren's shop,
and was very badly t.reate0. iby the
cook. But Fitzwarren'S -da righter
Alice was kind to him and she "and
Dick Yell in love. Dick's garret was
infested wi,tli rats and mice and he
bought a cast to keep them down.
When merchants sent a ship abroad
in 'those days, each servant was
allowed to venture something in' it
for luck and Dick gave his cat.
The ship put• in a -t" an unknown
Port, where the King's palace was
overrun by rats. Dick's: cat made
short work of them and the king
was so delighted that he bought the
beast for a fabulous still. At home
Dick ran away from the tormenting
cook and by nightfall reached High-
gate Hill, when he 'head the bells
of Bow telling him to• turn back.
He did so and when the ship re-
turned to London, bringing the for -
Vine pain ,for the cat, Dick became
a Wealthy man. He married Alice,
was elected Lord Mayor of London
and they -all lived happily ever
after. •

cestershire family, • his father, Sir
William. Whibt ngton;. being ,,squir

ticed to Sir Jeinn--;ytzwarren, a'
mercer.. In eight years Dick be-
came ,a full 'citizen of London, a
member of the Mercers' Guild, and
married Sir, John's daughter. Alice.
As "hies business' prospered he began
Tto take an interest in civic affairs
and. vas elected to the Common
Council in 1384. 'Three years later
.the Mayor of London died and,
Whittington filled .his office tempor-
arily. Next year he was .officially
elected Mayor, as he was in 1407
and ,again in 1420. ' When he died
in 142,3 he,directed that his wealth
should be spent. in charity and for

memorial to his name. But in -all.,
the historical records of Dick :Whit-
tington there is no mention of a
cat: how did it creep into the
pantomime% Story?: "For many' cen-
turies," said Lloyd, "Paar'ticuI r1 r
the East, a• cat• has been .asit'ted
with fortunate turning frrom' had' to
good:" ThiS sujerstition 'is ,trat:e 1
in many European Ountries• and
it, is ..not surprising that it wove it*

proved that the Whittingtons, had
lived inn that house iii ,1460. How
and when did Richard Wriittington
change into the pantomime figure?
"To •wbiet Dick Whittington dA we
owe the most?" Said Lloyd, "the one
whose "charity, and _henevelence did
iso much to .ease the lot of Wife
less fortunate--thdn 'himself'.or the
one' who, year by year, brings„ to
the stage the glamorous story of a
poor boy who rose to be Lord Mayor
