First lines
It was in the beautiful land of Greece that Saint Giles was born, very / far away from the grey northern city, whose cathedral bears his name. / His parents were of royal blood, and were, moreover, Christians; so the / boy was brought up most carefully, and taught all that a prince should / know.
