the bed
and all was led the next way unto to the Thames, and there a man
and the corpse and all were put in a barge on the Thames, and so
the man steered the barge to Westminster, and there he rowed a
great while to and fro, or any man espied.--Pt. iii. 123.

King Arthur saw the body and had it buried, and Sir Lancelot made an
offering, etc. (ch. 124); much the same as Tennyson has reproduced it in
verse.

_Shalott_ (_The lady of_). "It is not generally known that the lady of
Shalott lived, last summer, in an attic at the east end of South
Street." Thus begins a story of an incurable invalid, whose only
amusement is watching street scenes reflected in a small mirror hung
opposite the one window of her garret-room. A stone flung by a boy
shatters the mirror, and the fragile creature never recovers from the
shock.--Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, _The Lady of Shalott_.

=Shamho'zai= (3 _syl._), the angel who debauched himself with women,
repented, and hung himself up between earth and heaven.--Bereshit rabbi
(in _Gen._ vi. 2).

[Asterism] Har[^u]t and Mar[^u]t were two angels sent to be judges on

where they are to abide till the day of judgment.

=Shandy= (_Tristram_), the nominal hero of Sterne's novel called _The Life

Walter and Elizabeth Shandy.

_Captain Shandy_, better known as "Uncle Toby," the real hero of
Sterne's novel. Captain Shandy was wounded at Namur, and retired on
half-pay. He was benevolent and generous, brave as a lion but simple as
a child, most gallant and most modest. Hazlitt says that "the character
of Uncle Toby is the finest compliment ever paid to human nature." His
modest love-passages with Widow Wadman, his kindly sympathy for
Lieutenant Lefevre, and his military discussions, are wholly
unrivalled.

_Aunt Dinah_ [_Shandy_], Walter Shandy's aunt. She bequeathed to him
[pounds]1000, which Walter fancied would enable him to carry out all the
wild schemes with which his head was crammed.

_Mrs. Elizabeth Shandy_, mother of Tristram Shandy. The ideal of
nonentity, individual from its very absence of individuality.

_Walter Shandy_, Tristram's father, a metaphysical Don Quixote, who
believes in long noses and propitious names; but his son's nose was
crushed, and h
