Description
Excerpt from Knights of the Cross, Vol. 1 of 2
Right there near him, behind the table, sat a youth with long hair and a gladsome expression of eye, evidently the man''s comrade, or perhaps his armor-bearer, for he was also in travelling-apparel, and wore a similar coat, on which were impressions of armor. The rest of the society was composed of two country people from the neighborhood of Cracow and three citizens in red folding caps, the sharp pointed tops of which hung down on one side a whole yard.
The innkeeper, a German wearing a yellow cowl and collar with indented edge, was pouring to them from a pitcher into earthen tankards substantial beer, and listening with interest to the narrative of warlike adventures.
