'The Prentice Pillar'

William St Clair, founder of Rosslyn Chapel, brought home from his travels a picture of a pillar that he had admired in Italy and commanded his mason to carve a similar one for the chapel. The mason found himself unequal to the task, so he went off to Italy to examine the original. When he returned the mason was distraught to discover that his apprentice, inspired by a dream, had already carved out the exquisite pillar that we see there now by himself - quite naturally the mason had no choice but to slay the impudent apprentice on the spot.
