Remember the lists at Acre remember the Passage of Arms at Ashby remember thy proud vaunt in the halls of Rotherwood, and the gage of your gold chain against my reliquary, that thou wouldst do battle with Wilfred of Ivanhoe, and recover the honour thou hadst lost!
All the glories of the golden lamps and silver candlesticks, of banners and tassels, of the shrines of the saints and votive offerings, paled before the gorgeous brightness of the reliquary in which Don Juan lay.

"And the key of the cupboard?" "Vaucheray took it...." "Did he open it?" "And did he find what he was after?" "Yes." "And you wanted to take the thing from him. What sort of thing was it?

Lupin gathered from Gilbert's silence and the determined expression on his face that he would not obtain a reply.
