kilvert goes to witness some tableaux vivants at wye cliff
sultan selim in his palace at constantinople
'the children were richly dressed in character and acted beautifully. they were as still as marble.
immense clapping of hands and delight amongst the audience of children and their friends. the curtain falls and rising again discovers the sultana awake...
the crichtons do these things so well and with perfect taste...'
horsemouth thinks of prospero's books or something similar.
horsemouth is back from the bellringers lunch in ewyas harold (and very full he was by the end of it).
on the monday he thinks he will womble the eggs up the hill (the chickens are laying at a cracking pace) and he should probably clean out the hen shed again.
apparently the abbey has a ghost (horsemouth has not seen it yet he doesn't think).
