Description:Excerpt from The Vicar of the Marches What a contrast presented itself upon my awakening! Below, from the great paved court yard, the clash of weapons and the sound of mad contention rose with frightful insistency. From my cozy nest amid the cushions I bounded as though ejected by an arbalest. In three leaps I crossed the tower room, and peered from one of the oblong apertures opening upon the court. Little could I distinguish but a confused welter of men who shouted and swung their swords. Step by step, as I continued to gaze upon them, fasci nated by the sanguine scene, I saw that those who wore the garb of our service were being forced back toward the inner castle entrance. This, I well remember, kindled my boyish wrath, and I began crying shame upon them, but my weak treble carried no further in that medley of blows and oaths than the empty pipings of a bird.
