...offered the oblation which custom demands of monarchs: "An ingot or wedge of gold, of a pound weight," and "a pall or altar cloth." Philip, her husband, stepped to her side, and while the choir sang the hymn, All People That on Earth Do Dwell, man & wife received the bread and wine.

The boys live the old Spartan life: they sleep on boards covered only by a thin mattress, eat cold gag (cold meat), crug and flab (bread & butter), kiff (tea), slosh (boiled rice) and taff (potatoes). Their top Grecian still has the privilege of delivering a special address to each new British sovereign, and each year the whole school marches to the residence of the Lord Mayor to receive for each boy a brand-new shilling...
