A brave and daring knight, rousing the jealousy of nobles and kings by his valiant deeds, now banished and now recalled, now fighting against the Moslems, now with them, now for his own hand, and in the end winning himself a realm and dying a king without the name,—such is the man whose story we propose to tell.
Betty had banished the former girlish simplicity of this room a few days after her introduction to the Montgomery house.

Shipbuilders, pilots, and seamen, were brought from the Baltic, from Hamburgh, from Genoa. The whole surface of the obedient Netherlands, whence wholesome industry had long been banished, was now the scene of a prodigious baleful activity.
The incident in the ranche was quickly banished, and each traveller committed himself silently to the full enjoyment of the beauties around him beauties which appeared less like reality than a vision of the night. In less than two hours the travellers reached the second ranche, which was little better, in appearance or accommodation, than the one they had left.

But he did not share our prison and he is not with us now. Does he live?" Villon hesitated for a moment before speaking. "He lives. He is banished from Paris, but he lives."
