The tomb was an enormous place part cave, and partly hewn twenty feet by twenty by as many feet deep at the most conservative guess; and on four ledges, one on each side, not in their armor, but in the rags of their robes of honor, lay the bones of four earlier Montdidiers all big men, broad-shouldered and long of shin and thigh.
There, clean white now in the midst of rusty stonework, was a carved device shield-shaped two ships and two wheat-sheaves; and underneath on a scroll the motto in Latin Per terram et aquam By land and sea in token that the old Montdidiers held themselves willing to do duty on either element. The same device and the same motto were on the gold signet ring on Monty's little finger.
Stitched on the banner in colored cloth were the two wheat-sheaves and two ships of the Montdidiers, and a scroll stretched its length across the bottom, with the motto doubtless, although in the wind one could not read it. "The women. Good of 'em, what? Miss Vanderman drew it on paper. They cut it out, and sat up last night sewing it."
