I and my brother are going to Constantinople to join the Varanger guard, and shall not burn Crowland, or let any man burn it." "Shall not let?" "No," said the young man, so quietly, that Hereward was cowed. "I I only meant if they did not do right by me." "Do right thyself," said Siward. Hereward swore awfully, and laid his hand on his sword-hilt.
He dropped his pipe tube, and slowly rose to his feet, still gazing fixedly at nothing in particular in the same uncanny manner, and bringing his right-hand round towards his left hip, as if ready to grasp a sword-hilt. "One prophet," he continued, "was raised up for the destruction of idolatry, and wherever he appeared the false gods vanished.
Mossy does all that and never wears a scapula! and does it nine hundred and ninety-nine times in a thousand for nothing! Is that brave, Madame Délicieuse, or is it not? And, General, what could I say?" Madame dropped her palms on either side of her spreading robes and waited pleadingly for an answer. There was no sound but the drumming of the General's fingers on his sword-hilt.
He certainly had his arms richly illuminated, and he added to his ancestral bearings what Crawfurd describes thus: ‘On the dexter a chivaleer, garnish’d with the Earl’s coat of arms, pointing with a sword upward to an imperial crown, with this device, TIBI SOLI.’ In Workman’s MS., the figure points to the crown with the open right hand, and the left hand is on the sword-hilt.
The knight drew himself up till he seemed to be standing on his toes, and his hand left his sword-hilt to give his mustache a fierce upward twist. "The Duchess of Gascony, sir," he repeated. "There are a few persons who call her Highness the Queen of France, doubtless without meaning to give offence." Gilbert smiled in spite of himself, but the knight's eyes took fire instantly.
Therefore will I give his life to him, yet not to thee will I give him if I may help it Lo you, Sweet! he is just opening his eyes." Therewith he rose up from Ralph, who raised himself a little, and sat up dazed and feeble. The Knight of the Sun stood up over him beside the lady with his hands clasped on his sword-hilt, and said to Ralph: "Young man, canst thou hear my words?"
"Unless there has been deception practised on the bridegroom, it is utterly without excuse." "Your experience, Signore, has readily suggested the true points in a very knotty case, and I shall proceed without delay to look into its merits." Sigismund resumed his seat, his hand releasing the sword-hilt that it had spontaneously grasped when he heard this declaration of the bailiff's intentions.
It is appropriate that these figures facing the water-front should represent, as they do, the Conquistador and the Pirate Deck-hand, who once were masters and terrors of the main. The Conquistador stands in the central canopied niche, the strong line from his helmet-point down his sword-hilt making a grimly decorative axis for the whole. The Deck-hand is repeated in the niches on each side.
A struggle then began, James keeping the Master’s right hand off his sword-hilt; the Master trying to silence James with his left hand. James dragged the Master to the window, which the other man had opened. The retinue and Gowrie were passing, as we know, or loitering below; Gowrie affected not to hear the cries of treason; Lennox, Mar, and the rest rushed up the great staircase.
Thank God!" The old man's shabbiness was very obvious as he faced her, with his back against the iron-studded door; but he stood erect as a man of thirty, and his medals and his sword-hilt and his silver scabbard-tip were bright. "Tell me, Mahommed Khan, you have seen my husband?" He bowed. "You have spoken to him?" The old man bowed again. "He left you in my keeping, heavenborn.
