Raleigh's long imprisonment must havebeen dreadful to a man full of life and energy. Yet he hadcompensations: he was allowed to walk in the garden, and his historymust always have been a solace to him.
There were many others imprisoned in the Bloody Tower; but we must passon.
In walking from one part of the Tower to another we meet some mendressed very curiously in red dresses with velvet caps. These are theBeef-eaters, who guard the Tower, also called the Yeomen of the Guard. Their odd name an...d odd dress always attract people, and they are suchfine men that children sometimes wonder if they are called Beef-eatersbecause they eat a lot of beef! That is not so. The name is said to comefrom an old French word _buffetier_, which means a man who waited at abuffet or sideboard; and in old times the beef-eaters waited on the Kingand Queen, and they still wear the same costume they wore three hundredyears ago. Every night before midnight the chief Beef-eater goes to findthe chief warder; the Beef-eater carries the keys of the Tower, and witha guard of men the two go together to lock up the outer gate.
