“The man had not said anything, but it appeared, from what the monks had said, that he had single handedly held off six routiers in an ambush that had killed their men-at-arms. I was used to men that bragged all day - bragged about the women they bedded, bragged about knife fights in taverns - yet this man didn't even show his weapons. He seldom smiled, and he never, that I saw, displayed temper. He was courteous to every soul he met, ready with a blessing, and he never cursed or blasphemed.

He was like a paladin from the chansons.

I worked very hard to please him.”
