Somewhere about the Middle Ages--somewhere in a mediaeval town--there lived a man who walked always on the shady side of the way. None of his neighbors could have assigned a reason he should only tread where the lapse of time leaves no trace on the dial, yet so it was. None had ever seen him in sunshine.
