Preacher

“After Olivier Maillard had been preaching Lenten sermons at Orléans, the roofs of the houses surrounding the place whence he had addressed the people had been so damaged by the spectators who had climbed on to them, that the roofer sent in a bill for repairs extending over sixty-four days.”

J. Huizinga, The Waning of the Middle Ages (1924).
