Back, and yet back he went, until he reached the railings and could back no farther, and so broken was his spirit then that a groan escaped him. I answered with a laugh my mood was lusty and cruel and thrust at him. Then, eluding his guard, I thrust again, beneath it, and took him fairly in the middle of his doublet.
