Excerpt from Popular Romances of the West of England, or the Drolls, Traditions, and Superstitions of Old Cornwall T just, from his home in Penwith, being weary of having little to do, except offering prayers for the tin ners and fishermen, went on a visit to the hospitable St Keverne, who had fixed his hermitage in a well-selected spot, not far from the Lizard headland. The holy brothers rejoiced together, and in full feeding and deep drinking they pleasantly passed the time.
