The Rocketeer
“Sir Alec of Trent, dressed in the finery of the English court, parried a thrust from the man who was before him, the man who had the temerity to run about in a dashing, form-fitting black mask and go by the absurd name of the Laughing Bandit. Noblemen and women in the court below gasped in appreciation of Sir Alec’s skill and yet their faces seemed torn in their loyalties. The Laughing Bandit was so heroic, so mysterious . . .
The bandit leapt down from the stairway directly into the midst ...of the amazed audience. They backed away to give him room as Sir Alec duplicated the feat. The two men paused, taking a breath, as if sensing that this was the final engagement. Then they came at each other, their footwork unerring, their swords a mutual blur. To those watching it was amazing, two blades practically invisible.
The bandit pressed the attack, driving Sir Alec back, back, and suddenly Sir Alec was amazed to find that he had run out of room, his back against a stone column.MoreLess
