"And now," cried the duchess, indignantly, "now, Prince Eugene of Savoy, I command you to tell me the truth, and the whole truth! What have you done with her? How could you be so unknightly as to take advantage of her innocent and affectionate nature, to wrong one of the purest and most perfect of God's creatures!
The Earl wheeled his horse and sat for a moment or two as though to make quite sure that he knew the King's mind. The blow that had been given was foul, unknightly, but the King gave no sign either of acquiescence or rebuke; he had willed that Myles was to die. Then the Earl turned again, and rode deliberately up to his prostrate enemy.
And answer made the bold Sir Bedivere: 'I heard the water lapping on the crag, And the long ripple washing in the reeds. To whom replied King Arthur, much in wrath: 'Ah, miserable and unkind, untrue, Unknightly, traitor-hearted! Woe is me! Authority forgets a dying king."
'Now Heaven aid me, said Beaumains, 'for this is a most shameful and unknightly custom, and well doth that evil knight deserve death. 'Nevertheless he is a knight of great prowess and force, though of evil custom, replied the lady, 'and no one hath ever borne him down in battle.
I forgive him, my blood, since Heaven has spared to Scotland its protector." "If he be a Southron," cried Baron Hilton, coming forward, "name him, gracious lady, and I will answer for it, that were he the son of a king, he would meet death from our monarch for this unknightly outrage."

But although I had been an ardent devotee of the double-barrel, the large and manly tenderness which Bhima Gandharva invariably displayed toward all animals, whether wild or tame, had wrought marvels upon me, and I had grown fairly ashamed nay, horrified at the idea that anything which a generous and brave man could call sport should consist wholly in the most keen and savage cruelties inflicted upon creatures whom we fight at the most unknightly odds, we armed, they unarmed.
Be warned, John, and let him go, lest he should send you farther than you wish to travel. And to you, Hugh, I say, though it is much to ask, if he throws down his sword, forget that unknightly blow and come thither." "You hear," said Hugh shortly to John. "Now, because she is your sister, if it's your will I'll begone in peace."
The very laws themselves, conceived in this spirit, contributed greatly to foster it. The ancient code of Alfonso X, in the thirteenth century, after many minute regulations for the deportment of the good knight, enjoins on him to "invoke the name of his mistress in the fight, that it may infuse new ardor into his soul and preserve him from the commission of unknightly actions."
"O Donal!" she said, "I am very sorry for the poor worm; but it was naughty of you to dream such a dream." "Hoo's that, mem?" returned Donal, a little frightened. "It was not fair of you," she replied, "to dream a knight of a lady, and then dream her doing such an unknightly thing. I am sure if ladies went out in that way, they would do quite as well, on the whole, as gentlemen."
