...on before; and this 
I charge thee, on thy duty as a wife, 
Whatever happens, not to speak to me, 
No, not a word!' and Enid was aghast; 
And forth they rode, but scarce three paces on, 
When crying out, 'Effeminate as I am, 
I will not fight my way with gilded arms, 
All shall be iron;' he loosed a mighty purse, 
Hung at his belt, and hurled it toward the squire. 
So the last sight that Enid had of home 
Was all the marble threshold flashing, strown

...o the high top of the garden-wall 
To spy some secret scandal if he might, 
And saw the Queen who sat betwixt her best 
Enid, and lissome Vivien, of her court 
The wiliest and the worst; and more than this 
He saw not, for Sir Lancelot passing by 
Spied where he couched, and as the gardener's hand

In crimsons and in purples and in gems. 
And Enid, but to please her husband's eye, 
Who first had found and loved he...Read more of this...

In Chinese Customs, and the youngest one
Peter, the sailor, at Osborne still;
And the daughter, Enid, married, alas,
To a civil servant in far Madras.

A little thing happened, just before
We left— the evening papers came;
John, flicking them over to find a score,
Spoke for the first time a certain name—
The name of a town in a distant land
Etched on our hearts by a murderer's hand.

Mother and son exchanged a glance, 
A curious glance of strength and ...Read more of this...
