"I have been wondering why you and your brother both wear them." "Aunt Allison gave them to us.

She calls us her two little knights, and this is the badge of our knighthood, 'wearing the white flower of a blameless life,' It began one time when we were out at grandmother's all winter.

We gave a benefit for a little tramp, who came very near being burned to death in a cabin on the place.

We had tableaux, you know, and Malcolm and I were knights in one of them." "Oh, I know," interrupted Betty, eagerly.

"I've seen your picture taken in that costume, and it is lovely." "And then Aunt Allison explained all about King Arthur and his Round Table, and gave us the motto: 'Live pure, speak truth, right the wrong, honour the king, else wherefore born ?'" Betty repeated it softly.
