ON CROSSING THE CHANNEL

... 9 By EDWARD HUTTON. I do not think there can be another twenty miles in all Europe-- certainly there is not in Western Europe-- so crucial as those between Dover and Calais, so crucial in that they separate manners and customs so different, and all that these connote in spiritual and moral energy.

... A L L HALL O W S EVE By K. EVEREST. They had been burning nuts, trying old charms, telling ghost stories round the fire in the smoking-room, while the October winds rattled the casements and howled in the old chimneys.

LITTLE LIFE STORIES: (V.) Old Arthur

... LITTLE LIFE STORIES. By Sir H. H. Johnston. (V.) Old Arthur It you know anything of Shropshire-- the southern part of it-- you know Callers Castle, the Duke of Dumbarton's seat. Its name is pronounced with an œ sound to the first vowel, and has nothing to do with the verb to call. I believe there is a Shropshire dialect word, to cal, but forget what it means.
