_Meaning of Carfoix_ (Vol. iii., p. 469.).--Will your correspondent K. TH. give, if he can, an account of the word "carfoix?" Is it not the French _carrefour_, a name applied to more than one place in Guernsey, though not, I believe, necessarily to a spot where four ways meet? The chief carrefour there is at the junction of the Pollet, High Street and Smith Street; another is in the country, the _Carrefour aux Lievres_, the precise locality of which I cannot quite recall. MR. METIVIER, whose name I am glad to see in your pages, can tell, I dare say, of others. I suppose the derivation to be in _Quatuor fores_, or some French derivative from those words. "Carfoix" reminds me of "Carfax" in Oxford. Are the names akin to each other? E. J. S. _A regular Mull_ (Vol. iii., p. 449.).--The story of King Mûl is perhaps rather far-fetched. If it would neither put your correspondent in a _stew_, nor get myself into a _broil_, nor you into a _mess_ or a _pickle_, I would settle his _hash_ by suggesting that terms of cookery are frequently used as descriptive of disagreeable predicaments; and that though in our time nothing except beer or wine is _mulled_, yet it may not always have been so. Or may not the word be a corruption of _muddle_? I stand up for neither, but I will back either against King Mûl. M. _William Hone_ (Vol. iii., p. 477.).--I expect that A. N. is labouring under a mistake in inquiring about an account of the "conversion" of "William Hone, THE COMPILER of the _Every-day Book_;" and that he means "_The Early Life and Conversion of William Hone_, a narrative written by himself, _edited_ by his SON, William Hone, author of the _Every-day Book_, &c. London, J. Ward & Co., Paternoster Row, 1841. One Shilling." I have no doubt that the work may be procured at the publishers'; but should not that be practicable, I shall be happy to lend your correspondent my copy. It may perhaps be neither unjust nor uninteresting to add, that _I know_ (from his own communication, shortly after the memorable trials) he was so affected by the celebrated _Parodies_ being charged as "blasphemous," that he immediately stopped the sale of them; that, though money was then of some consequence to him, he refused tempting offers for copies; and that he did so, because he declared he would rather suffer any privations than be considered as having sought to revile the religion of his country, or to do aught to injure Christianity, which he deemed to be the hope of all, and the poor man's charter. In making those observations, he emphatically placed his hand on a Bible which lay upon my table. A HERMIT AT HAMPSTEAD.
