Marcella's lifted eyebrows asked for explanations.
Fast as was Zerexi, the gladiator from the flagship, Sintris was the merest trifle faster.

Just as it had done ringing, Sir Percival and the Count returned from their walk.

O'Sullivan Og opened his mouth; he was on the point of interposing, but he thought better of it, and shrugged his shoulders, muttering something in the Erse.

"Allow me, Monsieur Hennequin," said Enguerrand, interposing, and wishing good-naturedly to save De Mauleon the awkwardness of introducing himself, "allow me to reintroduce you to my kinsman, whom the lapse of years may well excuse you for forgetting, the Vicomte de Mauleon."
