He had thin silver bracelets upon his arms, and on his neck a collar of the same metal bearing the inscription, "Wamba, the son of Witless, is the thrall of Cedric of Rotherwood." This personage had the same sort of sandals with his companion, but instead of the roll of leather thong, his legs were cased in a sort of gaiters, of which one was red and the other yellow.
"How should I know but what that concealment was part of the gallantry, a necessary preface to the pretty speeches?" "Should I have urged your rescue on the King had I believed you what you will have it that I did, a mere witless girl to be pampered with follies?" "Then you admit," she cried, "you urged the King." "Should I have travelled over Europe to search for a wife and lit on you?
I do not believe that she ever hinted to another, what she clearly enough insinuated as a cause of fear to me.

On the wall facing her was a painting of "Aphrodite rising from the Foam," which Drusus had given her. The sensuous smiles on the face of the goddess sickened Cornelia, as she looked upon it. To her, at the moment, laughter was more hideous than any sobbing. Outside the door she heard the gay, witless chatter of the maids and the valets.
And I do hope he forget not his instructions and become again upon our hands the witless old man of last night." He advanced to the door and glanced out. "But here come two horses and a mule," he continued. "Whose they be, I know not, nor what hath been done with ours." Hugo at this also looked out the door. "In size and in gait these horses be ours," he said.
