Plausiblest stories ...

Kha. Stories, say you?—Ah,

The quaint attire!

Loys. My dress for the last time!

How sad I cannot make you understand,

This ermine, o'er a shield, betokens me

Of Bretagne, ancientest of provinces

And noblest; and, what's best and oldest there,

See, Dreux', our house's blazon, which the Nuncio

Tacks to an Hospitaller's vest to-day!
