‘Lucie avoided his blazing, blue eyes, looked about the room. It was evidently being used for sleeping quarters as a couple of truckle beds were pushed against the wall, coverlets neatly made. A wash basin was also in a corner and a rag glistened, still wet from whoever had washed their face that morning’

‘   An hour or so later he’d managed to round up several hundred chevaliers and they were now in a line, facing the enemy who’d formed a hedgehog-like schiltron. Heart in his mouth, sweaty beneath gambeson and hauberk, he roared the orders to charge, to kill and only take those of noble blood as prisoners’

" My mistress & friend , my heart and I surrender our- selves into your hands, beseeching you to hold us commended to your favour, and that by absence your af- feftion to us may not be lessened: for it were a great pity to increase our pain, of which absence produces enough and more than I could ever have thought could be felt, remind- ing us of a point in astronomy which is this: the longer the days are, the more distant is the sun, and never- theless the hotter; so is it with our love, for by absence we are kept a distance from one another, and yet it retains its fervour, at least on my side; I hope the like on yours, as- suring you that on my part the pain of absence is already too great for me; and when I think of the increase of that which I am forced to suffer, it would be almost intolerable, but for the firm hope I have of your un- changeable affedtion for me: and to remind you of this sometimes, and seeing that I cannot be personally present with you, I now send you the nearest thing I can to that, namely, my picture set in a bracelet, with the whole of the device, which you al- ready know, wishing myself in their place, if it should please you. This is from the hand of your loyal servant and friend,
