Among the ancient vulgar only the mariners were monotheists; they worshipped Venus; called her 'Stella maris, and 'Regina caelorum. Among our vulgar only the mariners are monotheists; they worship the Virgin Mary, and call her the 'Star of the Sea, and the 'Queen of Heaven. Call you theirs a new religion? An old doubtlet with a new button.
You saw it in the few things that still kept their grip on the past: on the wall an old, black painting of a knight in ruff and quilted doubtlet; a pounce-box and a hawking-glove on the chimney-piece, and above it an oval scutcheon, with a golden eagle naissant from a fesse vert.
A little while after they were all gone, Adonis came back from his errand, with his rolling step, and searched for the other glove on the floor, where the King had dropped it. He found it there at once and hid it in his doubtlet. No one was in the room, for the servants had disappeared as soon as they could.
