The latter words were lost in the laughter of the King and Cardinal at the unblushing avowal of the small, prim-faced maiden. "Oh ho!

Aelward lost his shamefastness and his slow blood fired as flesh met flesh and sinew strained against sinew.
Banish shamefastness and fearfulness and tell me if I can do aught to further thy passion; and if thou find me not diligent therein or if I bring it not to effect for thee, account me the cruellest mother that ever bore son.
He will surely o'erleap the moat and burst through the doors and slay many." And as they debated together they said that they alone would save the city and defeat the war-demons who had Cuculain in their power. For they said "His virginity is with him, and his beautiful shamefastness, and his humility and reverence for women, whether they be old or young, and whether they be comely or not comely.
