Borwick Hall, Carnforth - Has read 'Balder the Beautiful' vol. I, and adds three items: the story of a Highland woman who was robbed and said she would never wear shoes until she had walked to the king; the Palio ceremony in Siena, and the banners carried by youths who keep them continually waving, as described by William Heywood; a description of an Easter ceremony in Moscow in the cathedral there, almost identical to the one he saw in Athens.
