Wobern Abbey.
The Duchess of Bedford, who died
In 1850, was rather weakmlnded. and
unhappily her education did little to
dlsguis the defects which nature had
Imposed upon her. Her great dread
was to have a visitor at Woburn abbey
who would ask her bard questions
about the foundation and history of
the abbey. So if she had a savant in
the party she always asked a man of
higher rank to meet him, so that she
might not be taken In to dinner by
the savant Once, as bad luck would
bave It ahe got Lord Stanhope, the
historian, who, though he bad to take
her In to dinner, was none the less a
sat ant As soon as he sat down to
dinner he began the dreaded Inquiries
about the date of the abbey. The poor
duchess, much fiustrated, said:
"I have a very poor head for these
historical things, but I will tell you all
I know. The founder was a crusader
who, finding himself In great danger
In battle, vowed that if be got home
to Europe safe he would do anything
the Pope told him. He got back safe
and went to Rome, and the Pope told
him to build a Cistercian abbey, and
be built Woburn abbey. That's all I
know."
Lord Stanhope said, "That is exactly
what I wanted, for lf.you can tell me
which Pope it was I can approximate

understood it was the Pope of Rome I"
