Th' barest hints of noble standing I might exhibit started the very first day thou, most winsome woman, dayn'd acknowledge my existence.

Good sir, oft have I fretted at thine own opinion of thy worth; thou art worthy and most noble, sir, true inner nobility doth ever display humility and a downcast mien, it is the mark of the true nobleman

Th' more fervently thee defends thy mistak'n notions, th' more resolv'd am I to deserve them, tho' it makes no more sents than a sparo aspiring to be a falcon.

Th' more fervently thee defends thy mistak'n notions, th' more resolv'd am I to deserve them, tho' it makes no more sents than a sparo aspiring to be a falcon.

My lord, thine own self worth depends in large part on how and what thou doth aspire to be; a sparo dreaming of being an gyrfalcon is a worthy aspiration indeed; an hawk such as thee pining for existence as a bothersome wasp or gadfly is but a sinful waste of thy true self

As a gyrfalcon can seem to suspend whilst waiting to swoop on its prey, so I seem to lurk in the shadows hoping for a glimpse of thy unattainable beauty, my Lady.

T'were my dearest wish, good my lord, that thou couldst see mine eyes sparkle in merriment at the sweet compliments thou dost shower 'pon me; truly thou art blessed with a silver-tongue, yet one more gift thou dost conceal so well!

I know naught of silver tungs, fairest of all maids, but e'er I relapse into dumb silence, thou must kno' that myne only gift is a keen sense of the obvious, a gift well-exercized by thy bounteous pulchritude.

Good my Lady, loathe tho' I am to holde a contrarie view, I could ne'er be aught but a visitor to the storied halls of noble folk.

 

[Lori_the_Hoosier]

Good my Lady, loathe tho' I am to holde a contrarie view, I could ne'er be aught but a visitor to the storied halls of noble folk.

Good my lord, storied tho' these halls may be, still am I vexed that thou dost not recognize yet a simple truth and see thy reflection in such; that humble origins do not mask true nobility, nor can the highest station confer it where it truly doth not exist

Speeking such radical views would destroy the proper order of things, Lady fair, and reek havok on the body politick.

I fear it is my destiny, and thine, to question that which is of no account, and hold up to the light all that is noble of purpose; certes, my lord, I do believe that in this endeavor thine own support maketh my task easier

Please to heed my most stern and heartfelt warning, dearest of noblewomen: wert thou to make commen cause with one such as I, thou wouldst be stained forev'r with opprobrium and ridicule by thy peers.

But surely, gentle Sir, e'en the most base & vile a person can be suitably trained into gentlehood ?

My lord, never once hath thou stinted in thy praise of me, whether 't'is deservéd or nay; how canst thou not expect me to return like for like? Never hath thou been less than the most courtly and attentive of knights, good my lord!
