I myself saw you lying in the dust of the road, with a sabre-cut on your head that would have killed an ox." "It was not so bad as it looked," replied the Navarrese. "Nothing like a close-woven boina for turning a sabre edge.
Over a very light flannel under-vesture I put on a mail-shirt of fine close-woven wire, which had turned the edge of Mahratta tulwars, repelled the thrust of a Calabrian stiletto, and showed no mark of three carbine bullets fired point-blank.
Though full of strange and warm colors, the harmonic scheme is simple; rather is the work a tissue of lyric rhapsody than the close-woven plot of tonal epic.

We were not the only living things. Even this hideous place had its denizens.
Thou hast had countless wealth a frame on whose close-woven fibres disease can find no space to enter prosperous love inexhaustible pleasure and, even at this hour, triumphant revenge.
