[Jamieson, in his _Dictionary of the Scottish Language_,
Johnstone's Abridgment, thus explains the phrase:--
"KELSO CONVOY, an escort scarcely deserving the name south of
Scotland. 'A step and a half ower the door stane.' (_Antiquary._)
This is rather farther than a _Scotch Convoy_, which, according to
some, is only to the door. It is, however, explained by others as
signifying that one goes as far as the friend whom he accompanies
has to go, although to his own door."]
_Cardinal Wolsey._--In the life of Wolsey in the _Penny Cyclopædia_ is
the following:
"It is said that while he lived at Lymington, he got drunk at a
neighbouring fair. For some such cause it is certain that Sir
Amias Paulett put him into the stocks,--a punishment for which we
find that he subsequently revenged himself."
