And on a day it chanced that he fell asleep, wearing this coat. And, while he slept, one whose name I know not fell upon him, and hacked him to pieces--a foul deed! Wherefore as the coat was then, so I wear it; and it shall be upon me till I have avenged my father’s death.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
