It was picked up by an ancestor at Naseby. It has a clean cut in it. That's where an honest gentleman's sword found its way into the knave's skull the puritanical, priggish, canting knave." He threw the helmet with a clatter on to the table as if it had been the knave's canting head. He caught up a weapon. "This is a partisan.
