I know what Miss Sparhawk's reply would be. "You say all this to me to me, a lady? Great Heavens! What has become of chivalry?" A Frenchman was once put on trial for murdering his father and mother. He confessed his guilt, but begged for mercy on the plea that he was an orphan. Chivalry was founded on the assumption that woman was worthy to be worshipped.
"'You are a wise crow, said the eagle; and he went out and killed the sparhawk, and took his wood." Loud laughed King Ranald and his Vikings all. "Well spoken, young man! We will take the sparhawk, and let the crow bide." "Nay, but," quoth Hereward, "hear the end of the story. After a while the eagle finds the crow beating about the edge of the sparhawk's wood.
The arms and crest of the Pepperell family were displayed over the door of every room in Sir William's house. In Colonel Sparhawk's house there were forty portraits, most of them in full length. The house built for Sir William's son was occupied as barracks during the Revolution, and much injured.

But if a mistake has again been made I am confident that, in Miss Sparhawk's opinion, the fault will not be Miss Sparhawk's. The argument is always the same: Miss Sparhawk, being a lady, can do no wrong. If Miss Sparhawk cared to listen to me for five minutes, I feel I could put her right on this point. "It is quite true, my dear girl," I should say to her, "something is wrong very wrong.
