Raise the hand until it is opposite the right temple, with the upper
knuckles level with the top of the head, so that you can see under the
forte of the sword without lowering the chin. Point well advanced, and
nearly opposite to the left elbow, so as to cover the left cheek and
breast. Edge upwards. Arm slightly bent, with elbow turned up and hidden
behind the hilt.
A short man should form this guard a little higher than the right
temple.
