Seeming is the everyday robe of honesty. Why not give me credit for kneeling, morning and night, before yon glittering bauble?" he added, pointing to the diamond crucifix which hung, as usual, near the door of his own apartment. "I hope, at least, that the Being, whose memory is intended to be revived by that image, is not without your homage.

He caught up cap and cloak and ran down the winding stone stairs, coming out upon the market-square just as the guards entered it. So close that Alan could have touched him, there went by a humped and twisted figure with a jester's bells and bauble a man with a maliciously smiling mouth and wicked, observant, tired eyes.

"Monsieur, I see you wear an order I never saw you wear before; accept my compliments!" "The Fleece! that is true. A bauble, my boy, which no longer amuses an old child like myself. Goodnight, Raoul!" D'Artagnan's Lesson
