The Knight …had followed chivalry, truth, honor, generousness and courtesy. He never yet a boorish thing had said in all his life" In fifteen mortal battles he had been and jousted for our faith at Tramissene…and always killed his man.
…but he was not gaily dressed. He wore a fustian tunic stained and dark. He was a true, a perfect gentle-knight. And though so much distinguished, he was wise and in his bearing modest as a maid.
