To stay longer, to expostulate, to beseech, to enumerate the consequences of thy act what end can it serve but to blazon thy infamy and embitter our woes? And yet, O think, think ere it be too late, on the distresses which thy flight will entail upon us; on the base, grovelling, and atrocious character of the wretch to whom thou hast sold thy honor. But what is this?
But this black escutcheon, this livid death's head, designed with such minuteness of detail that it seemed to stand out from the tapestry, was less lugubrious than the two personages who held up the hideous blazon and who seemed to be whispering to each other in the shadow. At the bottom of the panel in a corner was the date: 1503.

The mischief is in the intimate friends, who blazon the words to every one." "And then they call one formal, for trying to protect the right name," said Flora.
On this account, he finds it more politic to arrest the general attention by a grand stir in all quarters, and some obtrusive demonstration palpable to all eyes, which shall blazon his name and pretensions through every street and lane of mighty London.
There was long silence between us; my eyes were intent on her veiled eyes. "You needed this to tell you?" I said at last. "You loved her, Simon." I would not allow the plea.
