The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Men of Iron by Howard Pyle: for the day, rode at a little distance, and there was an almost
pathetic contrast between the grim, steadfast impassiveness of
the tough old warrior and Myles's passionate exuberance of youth.
At the head of the party rode the Earl and his brother side by
side, each clad cap-a-pie in a suit of Milan armor, the cuirass
of each covered with a velvet juppon embroidered in silver with
the arms and quarterings of the Beaumonts. The Earl wore around
his neck an "S S" collar, with a jewelled St. George hanging from
it, and upon his head a vizored bascinet, ornamented with a
wreath covered with black and yellow velvet and glistening with
jewels.
