He was unwedded, and has no male kin; therefore, you need have no hesitation in taking his belongings; which indeed we should, in any case, have little chance of taking back with us, for our waggons are but few, and will daily become fewer: for on such roads as these, both waggons and horses break down, and it will be as much as we can do to carry even necessities with us.

"It is often so," the squire said, "and sometimes even his estates go with them, also.

As the earl said, Sir William Baxter had none to whom these things could have been given; seeing that he had, so far as I know, only one sister, to whom armour and horses could be of no use.
She is one of the Countess of Talbot's ladies." "And what are you going to do, yourself ?" "For the present, I know not," the squire said.

"I had been with Sir William Baxter but three years.

The knight I served with, before, was thrown from his horse and killed; and Sir William, who had been just knighted, took me into his service." "How long have you been a squire ?" "Six years, and I hoped that, in this campaign, I might have done something to win my spurs." "I am but a poor knight, Master--" and he paused.
