[418] According to Skeat _jingle_, "a frequentative verb from the
base _jink_," is allied to _chink_, and _chink_ is "an
imitative word".

you would realise that most of what you call 'Yankeeisms' are
merely good old English which you have thrown away."--J.

[445] The first lessee of the Manor at Kensington, now known as
Holland Park, was a certain Robert Horseman. Holland House
being built in a swamp, or _holland_, may owe its title to
that fact or to its having been erected by a Dutchman. The
Bog of _Allen_ in Ireland is authoritatively equated with
_holland_.

Sennen Cove.

[450] According to Johnston, Felixstowe was the church of St. Felix
of Walton, sometimes said to be _stow_ of Felix, first bishop
of East Anglia. "But this does not agree with the form in
1318 Filthstowe which might be 'filth place,' place full of
dirt or foulness. This is not likely" (p. 259).
[451] _Cf._ _Holy Wells._
[452] The numerous British Cranbrooks and Cranbournes are assumed
to have been the haunts of cranes.
