Excerpt from The Fortress, Vol. 3 of 3: An Historical Tale of the Fifteenth Century, From Records of the Channel Islands A pack oft devils and wizards, say rather l vociferated de Br???z???, had they been aught else, the swords of my brave fellows had mowed them down as easily as a skilful mower would have laid low so many blades of grass with his scythe! But how the devil could that proud taunting knight, who dubs himself captain, for sooth, have escaped the snare so cunningly set for him, save by the aid of witchcraft - did ever man and horse take such a leap before, unless to commit felo de se? Or, did ever steed fly over the ground like the beast he strode? I have seen many a gallant stallion, many a snow white charger, brought from the plains of Araby, in my time, but never have I seen one that could cut through the air with so heavy a burden at his back as the portly Islander, as did that noble beast! My life on it, he was worth a king's ransom; and truly did it put me out of humour to hear that death had cheated me out of the only portion of the goods and chattels.
