[52] The Earl and Countess of Northumberland breakfasted together alone at

of beef: a loaf of bread is not mentioned, but we hope it may be presumed.
On fast days the beef was exchanged for a dish of sprats or herrings, fresh
or salt.--_Northumberland Household Book_, quoted by Hume.

the old times may be gathered from the details of a feast given at the
installation of George Neville, brother of Warwick the King Maker, when
made Archbishop of York.
