The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Men of Iron by Howard Pyle: weapon at once unique and beautiful, and even Gascoyne showed an
admiration scarcely less keen than Myles's openly-expressed
delight.

thumb nail.
"There," said the smith, "is the jest of the whole, for it
belongeth to me. Sir William Beauclerk bade me order the weapon
through Master Gildersworthy, of London town, and by the time it
came hither, lo! he had died, and so it fell to my hands. No one
here payeth the price for the trinket, and so I must e'en keep it
myself, though I be but a poor man."
