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.
And then, O ye Gentiles, how can ye stand before the power of God, except ye shall repent and turn from your evil ways? Know ye not that ye are in the hands of God? Know ye not that he hath all power, and at his great command the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll?
