The Anglo Saxon Chronicles Part III I am an old man now, with an old man’s failings. It is nine years since my liege and, dare I venture, my friend Ælfred, King of Wessex and Rex Anglorum, passed to greater glory. I fear I shall not be long behind him for winter chills my bones and I sleep more and more by the brazier in the Scriptorium. My hands have grow...
"Party of one?" the host asked. "No" I said to him. "Table for two" "This way please", the host led me to my table. "I'll let you know when your guest arrives. There would be a waiter out to take your drink order." It was about 30 minutes later the waiter had brought my drink and Aaron had not arrived yet. I was so glad I had run into him after all these...
