Poor "Goldy," as he was fondly nlcknamed later in life, did not look much like a knight. Short of stature, with a homely face deeply scarred by the smallpox, awkward in his manners and movements, he would have made but a sorry figure in the lordly tournamont or at a royal banquet. And yet he had within him not a little of the knightly spirit. Generous to a fault, daring even to foolhardiness, tenderhearted, impulsive- he was just the kind of a man to ride through the world seeking adventures, and risking hls life in defense of the helpless and innocent. Had ha lived in the days of chivalry, he would doubtless have been, in spite of his ugliness and ungainliness, a famous knight errant.
