=Page 115.=--_In few of Shakespeare's references to school life, etc._ See on _You must be preeches_, page 227 above; and compare _Much Ado About Nothing_, ii. 1. 228:-- "_Don Pedro._ To be whipped? What's his fault? _Benedick._ The flat transgression of a schoolboy," etc. =Page 118.=--_A sanctuary against fear._ The allusion is to those sacred places in which criminals could take refuge and be exempt from arrest. There was such a sanctuary within the precincts of Westminster Abbey, which retained its privileges until the dissolution of the monastery, and for debtors until 1602. Compare _Richard III._ (ii. 4. 66), where Queen Elizabeth says: "Come, come, my boy; we will to sanctuary." =Page 122.=--_Hoodman-blind._ In _All's Well that Ends Well_ (iv. 3. 136), when Parolles is brought in blindfolded to his companions in arms, whom he supposes to be enemies that have captured him, one of them says aside, "Hoodman comes." _Loggats._ When I was at Amherst College, forty or more years ago, we had this same exercise under the name of "loggerheads"; but I have not seen it or heard of it anywhere else. =Page 125.=--_The spirited description of the horse._ Compare page 147 below, where it is quoted at length. =Page 126.=--_Alexander Barclay._ See on page 67 above. _Edmund Waller_ (1605-1687) was an English poet, who was a leader in the Long Parliament, afterwards exiled for being concerned in Royalist plots, returned to England under Cromwell, and was a favorite at court after the Reformation. =Page 127.=--_The caitch._ _Catch_ was another name for tennis. _Palle-malle_, or _pall-mall_ (pronounced pel-mel´), was a game in which a wooden ball was struck with a mallet, to drive it through a raised iron ring at the end of an alley. It was formerly played in St. James's Park, London, and gave its name to the street known as Pall Mall. _Bishop Butler._ Joseph Butler (1692-1752), bishop of Bristol and afterwards of Durham, and author of the famous _Analogy of Religion, etc._ (1736). _Gifford._ William Gifford (1757-1826), an English critic and satirical poet, editor of the _Quarterly Review_ from 1809 to 1824. =Page 130.=--_Mulcaster._ See on page 106 above. =Page 132.=--_At Kenilworth in 1575._ See page 12 above. =Page 134.=--_A certain place in Cheshire._ The story is told of Congleton in that county, but it is denied by the modern inhabitants. The other place referred to is Ecclesfield in Yorkshire, and I do not know that the statement concerning the pawning of the Bible has been disputed. =Page 135.=--_Paris-garden._ It is mentioned in _Henry VIII._ (v. 4. 2), where the Porter of the Palace Yard says to the crowd: "You'll leave your noise anon, ye rascals! do you take the court for Parish-garden?" This was a vulgar pronunciation of _Paris-garden_. The place was noted for its noise and disorder. =Page 136.=--_Dean Colet._ John Colet (1456-1519), dean of St. Paul's in 1505. The school was founded in 1512.
