Once a soldier of the guard whose blood-stained hands betrayed the work he had done, came reeling--he was drunk, as were many of the butchers--across our path, and I gave way a little.
Marie did not, but walked stolidly on as if he did not see him, as if the way were clear, and there were no ugly thing in God's image blocking it.
Only his hand went as if by accident to the haft of his dagger.

The archer--fortunately for himself and for us too--reeled clear of us.
