At that city I drew my slender stock of gold from the merchant that had been keeping it for me, and bought a beautiful chain coat for Max.

He already had a good, though plain, suit of steel plate which his father had given him when he received the accolade.

I owned a good plate armor and the most perfect chain coat I have ever seen.

I took it from a Saracen lord one day in battle, and gave him his own life in payment.

Max and I each bore a long sword, a short sword, and a mace.
