A huge fellow, leaning on the handle of a wide-bladed gleaming axe, stood by the side of the block. The trio of Protestants were taken up the steps of the scaffold. Two priests accompanied them.

Tiny leaflets giving succor and shelter to tinier animal life its special fairy. Huge beasts couchant in majestic trees, guarding against invasions, with a fierce, jealous rage inherited from the gnomes and satyrs.
