Day began to sink, ere the bargain was completed, when suddenly sails were descried in the distance, and presently a large fleet of war vessels, with, banner and pennon flying before a favoring breeze; came sailing up the Scheld. It was a squadron of the Prince's ships, under command of Admiral Haultain.
So on a May morning the old, weather-beaten Dacre pennon with its three crusading scallop-shells, was uplifted in the court, and round it mustered about thirty men, of whom eighteen had been raised by the baron, some being his own vassals, and others hired at Sunderland.
Then when men beheld Sir Gawain's badge, and Sir Lancelot's pennon beside it, tidings of the combat ran far and wide through the land. The king's folk who lay there were sore vexed thereat.
We had a flag flying in those days. Since men began to fret the riddle, they have hauled it down half-mast. Soon we shall behold a bare pole and hats on around it. That is their solution. A smile circled at the hearing of Lady Singleby say: 'Well, I am all for our own times, however literal the men. 'We are two different species! thumped Lady Pennon, swimming on the theme.
Wherever the great paladin came, pennon and standard fell before him. Agrican in vain attempted to rally his troops. Orlando kept constantly in his front, forcing him to attend to nobody else. The Tartar king at length bethought him of a stratagem. He turned his horse, and made a show of flying in despair.
"Oh, if we but reach Roland before he die," they cried, "oh, what blows we will strike for him." Alas! alas! they are late, too late! The evening darkened, night came, yet on they rode. Through all the night they rode, and when at length the rising sun gleamed like flame upon helmet, and hauberk and flowing pennon, they still pressed onward.
'They know nothing of us whatever! Lady Pennon harped on her dictum. 'They put us in a case and profoundly study the captive creature, said Diana: 'but would any man understand this . . . ? She dropped her voice and drew in the heads of Lady Pennon, Lady Singleby, Lady Esquart and Miss Courtney: 'Real woman's nature speaks. A maid of mine had a "follower."
Warwick terms it in another place: but Lady Pennon was acquainted with the silly woman of the piece, and found her amusement in the 'wonderful truth' of that representation. Diarists of amusing passages are under an obligation to paint us a realistic revival of the time, or we miss the relish.
He shall take a flag of truce and a trumpet, and ride down to the edge of the morass to summon them to lay down their arms and disperse." "With all my soul, Colonel," answered the Cornet; "and I'll tie my cravat on a pike to serve for a white flag the rascals never saw such a pennon of Flanders lace in their lives before."
And as she did so her broad pennon was run up and dipped thrice, as in salute; and so she passed behind the headlands of the southern coast and was lost to my sight. I bided there in my place, downcast and wondering, until the meaning of it all came to me; remembering Halfden's last words, that he would not fall on East Anglia. Now he had shown me that his promise was kept.
