    Excerpt from York

    "A story tells how once a miracle was wrought in St. Leonard's Hospital. The hero of the tale, so far from being a saint was very much a sinner. After a not too reputable secular career, he was persuaded to become a religious. The change in his life was more apparent than real, for, it seems, when fair-time came round, he made up his mind to join, as on many a previous occasion, in the festivities of the season. Taking advantage of the after-dinner sleepiness of the porter, and seizing the latter worthy's keys, Brother Jucundus, for that is the hero's name, made his exit, contemptuous of discipline."
