ALBION The Lame Dancer Patrick McCormack The Lame Dancer – 4 ? Copyright © Patrick McCormack 2008 Typeset by Howard Wiseman, Brisbane, Australia The Lame Dancer – 5 ? PREFACE By Howard Wiseman March 2008. Patrick McCormack has suggested I write the brief story of how I came to be “publishing” his novel The Lame Dancer on my website. I cannot think of a better way to begin than to quote from the letter I was able to send (after an earlier failed attempt) to Patrick via his publisher, Constable & Robinson, in September 2007: I am writing to you regarding your Albion trilogy of Arthurian and post- Arthurian Britain. I am a great fan of the first two novels. I have read a great deal of historical Arthurian fiction, and I think your books are unparalleled in their ability to capture the reality of 6th century Britain – the decaying economy, the complications of the politics and the relations between Britons and Saxons. You also have one of the freshest takes on the Arthurian legend. You have clearly put an enormous amount of research into these. The reason I am writing is that I’ve been waiting, ever since The White Phantom came out, for the third book in the trilogy, The Lame Dancer. It was advertised to come out years ago, but never has. I now understand from your publisher, Constable and Robinson, that you have finished it, but that they may never release it. This is very disappointing for me, and, I’m sure, many other fans. Is there any way you could make available your final novel for fans like me? To my great pleasure, Patrick was happy to oblige by sending the electronic manuscript of his novel. Moreover, he confirmed with Constable & Robsinson that, since they felt unable to continue with the third Albion volume, he was free to release it on the web. I am very grateful to Patrick for allowing me the honour of publishing it on my site. I hope that everyone who has read the first two novels will manage to find this final installment, and that it will be discovered by a new set of readers as well. I urge any of the latter to buy, beg, or borrow The Last Companion and The White Phantom and read them first. The Lame Dancer – 6 ? DRAMATIS PERSONAE OF ALBION Ambrosius The Elder and the Younger.

PROLOGUE He hobbled through the woods that ran parallel with the road a bowshot below, the pig at his heels like a faithful dog. Branches caught his ragged cloak, and he tugged the wool tighter about his thin body. The leaf mould was slippery underfoot. He moved cautiously, favouring his right hip. Every so often he paused to catch his breath. It would be easier on the road, he knew, but experience had taught him the highway was dangerous, both for himself and for his companion. He was old and lame, the pig young and toothsome. The pair of them might as well have walked the road shouting ‘Here comes prey!’ at the tops of their voices. Instead they kept to whatever cover they could find, using the road as a guide and drifting back into the trees whenever they heard the sound of other travellers. Fortunately there were not many at this time of year. The pig usually gave the warning, though sometimes he himself was the first to see an oncoming party from the brow of a hill. His long sight was not what it had been, but he was still better than his friend at recognizing shapes from a distance. The pig grunted impatiently. With a sigh he pushed himself away from the tree and on up the steepening slope. His right leg dragged, so he left a trail behind him like that of the iron coulter of a plough, the newly turned dead leaves glistening in his wake. These trees had been coppiced once, coppiced and cropped on a regular basis. He could tell from the way they grew, especially the smaller species, hazel, alder and birch, the many trunks sprouting from a single stool. Someone – he had forgotten who – had once told him that even a small estate in the Roman style had consumed a vast amount of fuel every day, and though he did not pretend to understand the calculation, he did understand what it meant – that much of what the present inhabitants thought of as a natural landscape, growing wild or by the will of the gods, was in fact nothing of the kind, but had been planned as carefully as any settlement. The slope increased until he was almost crawling, using his hands to balance himself while his lame leg stuck out behind him like a rudder. He would have laughed had the pain in his hip not flowered as his foot jarred against a hidden stump. The pig, which had abandoned him to snuffle among the roots of another oak, came hurrying across at his squeal of distress and thrust its sandy head under his chest, demanding to have its ears rubbed, anything to distract him. He grunted, and used the pig’s body to lever himself upright, feeling its solid form flow under his hands like water as it pulled away. “Will you help or not?” he grumbled, wavering wildly before he gained his balance by clutching a sycamore. He worked his way up the hill, watching the pig, which had stopped at the crest and was sniffing the air. The Lame Dancer – 12 ? “Snow coming,” he said for the third or fourth time.

WITH LARGE CHART OF THE ROMAN ROADS, AND SMALL MAPS LY THE TEXT SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE, LONDON: NORTHUMBERLAND AVENUE, W.C. 43, QUEEN VICTORIA STREET, E.G. ErIGHTON ; 129, NORTH STREET. 1903 PUBLISHED UNDEK THE DIRECTION OF THE GENERAL LITERATURE COMAHTTEE. DA CsHr PREFACE The following attempt to describe the Roman roads of Britain originated in observations made in all parts of the country as opportunities presented themselves to me from time to time. On turning to other sources of information, the curious fact appeared that for a century past the literature of the subject has been widely influenced by the spurious Itinerary attributed to Richard of Ciren- cester. Though that was long ago shown to be a forgery, statements derived from it, and suppositions founded upon them, are continually repeated, casting suspicion sometimes undeserved on accounts which prove to be otherwise accurate. A wide publicity, and some semblance of authority, have been given to imaginary roads and stations by the new Ordnance maps. Those who early in the last century, under the influence of the new Itinerary, traced the Roman roads, unfortunately left but scanty accounts of the remains which came under their notice, many of which have since been destroyed or covered up in the making of modern roads ; and with the evidence now avail- able few Roman roads can be traced continuously. The gaps can often be filled with reasonable cer- tainty, but more often the precise course is doubtful, and the entire course of some roads connecting known stations of the Itinerary of Antonine can IV PREFACE only be guessed at.

  • Who's Who at the Rodin Museum
    WHO’S WHO AT THE RODIN MUSEUM Within the Rodin Museum is a large collection of bronzes and plaster studies representing an array of tremendously engaging people ranging from leading literary and political figures to the unknown French handyman whose misshapen proboscis was immortalized by the sculptor. Here is a glimpse at some of the most famous residents of the Museum… ROSE BEURET At the age of 24 Rodin met Rose Beuret, a seamstress who would become his life-long companion and the mother of his son. She was Rodin’s lover, housekeeper and studio helper, modeling for many of his works. Mignon, a particularly vivacious portrait, represents Rose at the age of 25 or 26; Mask of Mme Rodin depicts her at 40. Rose was not the only lover in Rodin's life. Some have speculated the raging expression on the face of the winged female warrior in The Call to Arms was based on Rose during a moment of jealous rage. Rose would not leave Rodin, despite his many relationships with other women. When they finally married, Rodin, 76, and Rose, 72, were both very ill. She died two weeks later of pneumonia, and Rodin passed away ten months later. The two Mignon, Auguste Rodin, 1867-68. Bronze, 15 ½ x 12 x 9 ½ “. were buried in a tomb dominated by what is probably the best The Rodin Museum, Philadelphia. known of all Rodin creations, The Thinker. The entrance to Gift of Jules E. Mastbaum. the Rodin Museum is based on their tomb. CAMILLE CLAUDEL The relationship between Rodin and sculptor Camille Claudel has been fodder for speculation and drama since the turn of the twentieth century.

  • Rodin Museum History [Release]
    Contact: Norman Keyes, Jr., Director of Media Relations Frank Luzi, Press Officer (215) 684-7864 [email protected] THE RODIN MUSEUM, PHILADELPHIA In a park setting at 22nd Street and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway (four blocks east of the Philadelphia Museum of Art) is one of the jewels of the city’s cultural landscape. The Rodin Museum, with its elegant gardens and stunning Beaux-Arts architecture, is the legacy of one of Philadelphia's best-known philanthropists. Movie magnate Jules Mastbaum (1872-1926) fell in love with the work of French sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) while on a visit to Paris in 1923. With characteristic energy Mastbaum spent the next three years assembling an extraordinary collection of sculpture and drawings by the artist, with the idea of establishing a Rodin Museum in Philadelphia for “the enjoyment of my fellow citizens.” While amassing his collection, Mastbaum commissioned the gifted architects Paul Cret and Jacques Gréber to design a building and formal garden on the new Benjamin Franklin Parkway, the broad, tree-lined boulevard designed to evoke another grand avenue, the Champs Elysees in Paris. The museum, simple in detail, is monumental in its conception and yet intimate in scale and feeling. The gateway leading to the garden and museum reproduces the façade of the Château d’Issy, which had been constructed on Rodin’s property at Meudon in 1907. A cast of The Thinker (1902-04) is set in a location similar to that of the one at Meudon that serves as Rodin’s headstone. The overall effect was intended to suggest the setting of Rodin’s tomb.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.
