20、he book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry Vllls six wives. Even here, however, Williams had succeeded in misleading him.

22、ntil one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.Even then his search had not come to an end.
