One would have taken them for decent traders when that was done, for they were soberly clad in good blue cloth jerkins, with clean white hose, and red garterings not too new.

Good cloaks they had also, and short seaxes in their belts.

Only Evan had a short Welsh sword, and the peace strings of that were tied round the hilt.

I wondered where the bodies of the honest men they had taken these things from were hidden in the wild hills.
Half a dozen of the best clad of the other men took boar spears, and so they were ready for a start, for all the world like the chapmen they pretended to be.

They put me into the litter they had ready then, and four of the men were told off to bear me, grumbling.
