There's some deevilry at wark there. Stan' ye i' the door, an' ghaist or deevil 'at wad win by ye, grip it, an' haud on like Demon the dog."

No, no; thou art the flower and prince of my new seignorie, thou must mate thyself with a name and a barony that shall be worthy thy fame and thy prospects.

The knight crossed himself, and reluctantly ascended the stairs, and re-entered the wizard's den.
