[Magdalen] Triddum Time.

[Simon Kershaw]

The rubrics of the Church of England's "Common Worship: Daily Prayer" do 
make this provision and it is used in my daily implementation on their 
website and also at almanac.oremus.org

Usually at least one person complains each year that half the service is 
missing and something has gone wrong. So we just point them to the rubrics.
