As it was in 1400
A knight complains to another man as his wife passes on the right, wearing a large hat held in place by the knight’s sword. Caption: Sir Bodikins — Gadsobs! What aileth thee, Sir Ronald? Something seemeth the matter. / The Knight — Matter! My wife hath swiped that long sword of mine – forged of Damascus steel – jeweled hilt – given me for bravery against the Saracens – and proposeth to use it for a hat-pin!
