My dear Miss Ingelow
This is Mr Stone’s answer about the knight of Intercession. It seems to be one of the legends that evades all search. How would it be to send a question to Notes and Queries?

I have been wishing to tell you that the last sermon that I heard Mr Keble preach, a year and half ago, – one on the anniversary of his Church Consecration, he brought in a sentence about the Church bells sounding on the ear of travellers in the desert, and he told me afterwards that it came out of ‘the one story by two Authors’.1

yours sincerely
C M Yonge

1One story by two authors; or, A tale without a moral by Jean Ingelow and Frances Mary Levett was serialised in MP 1860-61 and published 'with additions' in 1862.
