  • Down the High St.

  • I wandered down the High St. of our little town and noticed with particular interest the shop signs, brass plates, and commercial notices which met my eyes in every direction. I was interested because I wanted to see how greatly even the exterior of our everyday surroundings, so to speak, are dominated by the connexion of our language with Latin and Greek. I was not concerned with the more obvious words—dentist, oculist, doctor—but with those which had a story to tell.
