Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Uncanonized a Romance of English Monachism
The game continued for a long enough time to have wearied players less athletic; but, at the end of half an hour, the victor became very evident to those Who had staked upon his Opponent. He was a beautifully built fellow, not remarkably tall, but perfectly proportioned; clad somewhat foppishly in tunic Of olive green, of costly material, white hosen, with belt, pouch, and shoes heavily jewelled and ornamented. The hat, which lay on the grass at no great distance, was of white cloth, bear ing two straight white feathers, tipped with black and fastened together with a golden pin. His face was well cut, and its expression determined. Dark hair, some what shorter than was fashionable, clustered in thick curls about his head. His movements throughout the match were rapid and graceful, While the eyes which followed his opponent's weapon were black and unusually bril liant. The laughter now and again coming from his lips as he lost a stroke or was foiled in one. Was as clear and as mellow as the silvery murmur of a forest stream. A careless. Light-hearted, petted, spoiled, and hugely admired favorite was this Anthony fitz-hubert; upon whose Slender shoulders not a care had sat for three hours' time in all his pretty life.
