E.R. Eddison Quote
An offer indeed, said Lord Brandoch Daha; if it be not in mockery. Say it loud, that my folk may hear. Corund did so, and the Demons heard it from the walls of the burg. Lord Brandoch Daha stood somewhat apart from Juss and Spitfire and their guard. Libel it me out, he said. For good as I now must deem thy word, thine hand and seal must I have to show my followers ere they consent with me in such a thing.Write thou, said Corund to Gro. To write my name is all my scholarship. And Gro took forth his ink-born and wrote in a great fair hand this offer on a parchment. The most fearfullest oaths thou knowest, said Corund; and Gro wrote them, whispering, He mocketh us only. But Corund said, No matter: 'tis a chance worth our chancing, and slowly and with labour signed his name to the writing, and gave it to Lord Brandoch Daha. Brandoch Daha read it attentively, and tucked it in his bosom beneath his byrny.This, he said, shall be a keepsake for me of thee, my Lord Corund. Reminding me, and here his eyes grew terrible, so long as there surviveth a soul of you in Witchland, that I am still to teach the world throughly what that man must abide that durst affront me with such an offer.
