"Sword and horse, rascal," said the gentleman, "and warn Digby for duty. Bring me wine and a manchet of bread." The man bowed and re-entered the tent, to emerge a moment later bearing the Sword. How the cut-steel hilt sparkled and shone! How bright and red the leather scabbard now black, dull, cracked and crumbling. But it was unmistakeably the Sword.
His own heart, he says, bleeds and his pen quakes to write what must be written of the falsehood of Cressid, which was her doom. Chaucer's nature, however tried, was unmistakeably one gifted with the blessed power of easy self-recovery.
You can never know what I endured that evening, to see the regard once bestowed on me, transferred to another, to see that I was nothing, that I was entirely, unmistakeably forgotten, perhaps detested; for you treated me with unnecessary coldness.
