ut so much remainsto be seen that we suppress the wish, and pass on into theChapel. The Crucifixion in the east window, with angels receivingin chalices the sacred drops from hands and feet and side, is a verybeautiful representation ; before its recent restoration, the portionscomposing it had been mixed up anyhow, and, as they appearedthen, were quite unintelligible. A pre-Reformation crucifix,backed by a sixteenth-century triptych, still lingers on the altar;kitten candlesticks and dishes stand on the re-table ; and thealtar-cloths display the most exquisite needlework, though twoof the figures of one of them happen to be missing. Here, too,the brazier still continues in use, heating the little oratory inwinter, and at the same time emitting soporific fumes, sadlydetrimental, no doubt, to the preachers best points.
