He drew slowly back from the piano and stood at his full height. "The doctor is calling us to the dining-room, Miss Forrest; may I offer my arm?" was his only reply, and she arose and went with him.
Out of what mean shadows had the girl to turn her weary eyes upward to this sunlight of ancient heroism! "And yet, Mademoiselle," said he, gently, "I think there are such men alive to-day, if only one will look for them. Remember, they were not common even in Bayard's time. Oh yes, I think there are preux chevaliers nowadays, only perhaps they don't go about things in quite the same fashion.
Hamilton was placed in bed on the lower floor of Bayard's house; and, in spite of the laudanum that was liberally administered, his sufferings were almost intolerable. His children were not admitted to the room for some time, but his wife could not be kept from him.

The chief military advantage of this wonderful raid was that it kept all these Italian horsemen away from the coming battle at Marignano. Francis I. was delighted to hear of Bayard's success, and finding that the Swiss were retreating towards Milan he followed in pursuit of them, took Novara on the way, and advanced with his army as far as Marignano.
