"Who here seekynge Forgetfulness Did here fynde Peace!" Many things in life come too late to be of rescue or service, and justice is always tardy in arrival. Too late was Pierce Armitage, after long years of absence, to give his innocent child the simple heritage of a father's acknowledgment; he could but look upon her dead face and lay flowers on her in her little coffin.
The sunlight flashed brightly in upon her and immediately above her the golden beams traced out as with a pencil of light the arms of the old French knight with the faded rose and blue of his shield and motto illumining with curiously marked distinctness the words he himself had carved beneath his own heraldic emblems: "Who here seekynge Forgetfulness Did here fynde Peace!"
Over the wide chimney his coat-of-arms was painted, the colours having faded into tender hues like those of autumn leaves, and the motto underneath was "Mon coeur me soutien." Then followed the inscription: "Amadis de Jocelin, Knight of France, Who here seekynge Forgetfulness did here fynde Peace."
