At the latter end of the seventeenth century this was a drink asked-for eagerly by the public at London taverns. "Grantham gruel," says quaint old Fuller, in his History of the Worthies of England, "consists of nine grits and a gallon of water."

She had thick beautiful hair of a shade nearly golden, with a large silver pin like a dart run through it, and a light wreath.
