Chapter 1 With Christmas Angels:  Christmas Eve; such a Christmas! Snow crowned, icicle hung, cold, glittering, dazzlingly beautiful. The hills of Malvern, robed in purest white, stood out distinct and clear against the heavy gray sky - those everlasting hills that have witnessed the coming and going of so many Christmastides. Down in the quiet valley of the Severn, the broad, calm river slowly wended its way betwixt frozen fields and snow clad woods. The music of the abbey bells floated dreamily over highland and lowland, singing the song the angels sang of old, the Christmas message of peace. It was a very tranquil scene.  1.4 (#000032)
