CHAP. IX.
Note 1. Author’s note.—“Make the old grave-digger a laudator temporis acti,—especially as to burial customs.”
Note 2. Instead of “written,” as in the text, the author probably meant to write “read.”
Note 3. The MS. has “delight,” but “a light” is evidently intended.
Note 4. Author’s note.—“He aims a blow, perhaps with his pipe, at the boy, which Ned wards off.”
