C. Baron Shepherd concluded a letter concerning me to the Chief Commissioner: "Magna etiam illa laus et admirabilis videri solet tulisse casus sapienter adversos, non fractum esse fortunâ, retinuisse in rebus asperis dignitatem."
So the days fled by and I wonder if our friends across the Rapidan, who were going to crush us, were as gay as the folk about to be crushed? The future looked stormy, but we laughed and we did right, did we not, friend? That mirth was not unseemly not unworthy of approval. It is evidence at least of "game," non fractum esse fortuna et retinere in rebus asperis, dignitatem is it not?
On folio 180d we find a chapter entitled "De cathena gulae incisa vel fracta," and copied almost literally from the chapter "De catena gulae" of Roger. In neither writer do I find any precise definition of what the cathena gulae is, though Roger says, Si es gulae, quod est catena, fractum fuerit, etc., nor do I find the terms used explained in any dictionary at present available.
