Sir Peter here led the way to the family tree a goodly roll of parchment, with the arms of the family emblazoned at the top. Those arms were simple, as ancient heraldic coats are, three fishes /argent/ on a field /azure/; the crest a mermaid's head. All flocked to inspect the pedigree except Mr. Gordon, who resumed the "Times" newspaper.
But when mine Honour sounds a challenge, I hear; and I ride out to do battle against myself, if need be; or, if it must so be, against another. On Eastern battle-fields, in Holy War, I won a name known throughout all the camp, known also to the enemy: 'The Knight of the Silver Shield. Our name is Argent, and we ever have the right to carry a pure silver shield.
I will give you this heraldry as far as I can make it out from Villani; it will be very useful to us afterwards; I leave the Italian when I cannot translate it: Gonfalon 1. Gules; a ladder, argent. 2. Argent; a scourge, sable. 3. Gules; a dragon, vert. B. Sesto of St. Peter Scheraggio. Azure; a chariot, or. 2. Or; a bull, sable. 3. Argent; a lion rampant, sable. 4.
His shoes were of red leather, daintily pointed at the toes, but not yet prolonged to the extravagant lengths which the succeeding reign was to bring into fashion. A gold-embroidered belt of knighthood encircled his loins, with his arms, five roses gules on a field argent, cunningly worked upon the clasp. So stood Sir Nigel Loring upon the bridge of Avon, and talked lightly with his lady.
And also that, the number of bars being uncertain, I assume the bearing to be 'barry, that is, having an even number of bars; had it been odd, as of seven bars, it should have been blazoned, argent; three bars, sable; or, if so divided, sable, three bars argent. This lively bearing was St. Pulinari's. C. Sesto of Borgo. Or; a viper, vert. 2.
Argent said these letters weren't of prime importance. Still, I wouldn't like to have them taken away from me, or lose them, and get a bad reputation in this business. I don't want to lose my job just now, when dad is laid up."
Love by the sleeve as he rose, and whispered petulantly, "I do not see any one here to suit me, Monsieur Love none of my rank." "Mon Dieu!" answered Mr. Love: "point d' argent point de Suisse. I could introduce you to a duchess, but then the fee is high. There's Mademoiselle de Courval she dates from the Carlovingians." "She is very like a boiled sole," answered the Vicomte, with a wry face.
They looked back with him at the city, whose thousands of tinned roofs, rising one above the other from the water's edge to the citadel, were all a splendor of argent light in the afternoon sun. It was indeed as if some magic had clothed that huge rock, base and steepy flank and crest, with a silver city.
The flask which had been in so much evidence a little while before was not in sight now. "Yes, I'll ride back and get the stuff," Jack decided. It had come into his mind that perhaps the forgotten package contained the letters Mr. Argent was expecting. They might have been sent by special mail, and not be in the regular sacks. It would be best for Jack to go, though he would be delayed.
"I don't know that you could have really held them on the charge of being impudent and rough to Miss Blake, and you tell me that is all they did." "Yes, that's so. But what about one of them listening to what you were telling me about the secret mine." "Oh, bless you, that doesn't worry me!" said Mr. Argent, with a laugh.
