 Then he showed me a glorious oak cabinet which was condemned 

 by cottagers at Milborne to be demolished and burnt. Fearing, 

 however, that it would be rather a stiff business to smash it, Betty 

 was quite glad for Mr. WARNE to cart the whole thing away. Her

 A poor picture it is, but his fame in no way depends on my 

 pourtraying. As long as any account is made of archaeology so 

 long will WARNE be an honoured name on the lips, in the heart, of 

 every lover of the relics of the olden time.
