"_As you read of the fair knights and the foul knights--for
Froissart tells of both--it cannot but occur to you that somehow
it seems harder to be a good knight now-a-days than it was
then.... Nevertheless the same qualities which made a manful
fighter then, make one now. To speak the very truth, to perform a
promise to the utmost, to reverence all women, to maintain right
and honesty, to help the weak; to treat high and low with
courtesy, to be constant to one love, to be fair to a bitter foe,
to despise luxury, to pursue simplicity, modesty and gentleness
in heart and bearing, this was in the oath of the young knight
who took the stroke upon him in the fourteenth century, and this
is still the way to win love and glory in the
nineteenth._"--EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE.
