chap. 48: “After the sixth hour, having left the table let them 
rest on their beds in perfect silence; or if anyone wishes to read 
by himself, let him read so as not to disturb the others.”

     The second passage is from a letter of St. Thomas More 
to Martin Dorp, reproving Dorp for his letters: “However I am 
certainly surprised if any person should take it into his head to 
be so flattering as to extol such matters even in your presence; 
and, as I began to say, I wish you could watch through a 
window and see the facial expression, the tone of voice, the 
emotion with which those matters are read.” (23)
