Wickets?"

"Three white wicket-gates on a sable field. It was the coat of Salomon

Maulfry laughed. "I should remember, I think. But there is no

world, and a great name."

Galors, visibly uneasy; thought hard about it. Then he swore. "And I

go for great deeds, by Heaven! Give it me, Dame. I will have it.

Entra per me! And shut the wickets when I am in!"

He kissed Maulfry then and there, and they went to bed.
