Description
Zigzag Journeys in Europe is a Book of Travel. The book says that this is the armor of the mighty Guy". "The mighty Guy!" said Tommy Toby, with large eyes, "will you please tell us who he was?" The antique portress stared as though amazed at such a confession of ignorance. "We are from America", said Tommy. Master Lewis smiled at being included in the uninstructed "we". "Guy was a giant". Tommy's interest grew. "He was the great Earl of Warwick: a valiant soldier who slew so many people that he became melancholy, and retired to Guy's Cliff, as it is now called, and there lived alone in a cave for thirty years. He was nine feet high". "And what is that?" said Tommy Toby, pointing to an immense pot. "That", said the antique lady, " was the mighty Guy s porridge pot". "How much does it hold?" "It holds one hundred and twenty gallons, and weighs eight hundred pounds". "Did the mighty Guy drink as much porridge as that at every meal?" asked Tommy, his curiosity taking a wider circle with each new statement.
