Jury-Law books

I would consider it a great favor if you gave me the bauble
you're wearing between your breasts. If you give it to me, I
will accept it and wear it in your honor and service. And I
swear before the altar and on the order of chivalry, to combat a
knight on foot or on horseback, to the death, armed or unarmed.'
"'Oh Holy Mary be with me!' said Fair Agnes. 'You want to joust
to the death for such a small thing of so little value? So that
you will not lose the prize of your good works and the order of
chivalry, I shall willingly consent in the presence of the king
and the queen. Take the bauble with your own hands.'
"Tirant was very happy with the reply of Fair Agnes. Since the
bauble was tied on with her dress straps, it could not be removed
without untying them, and when he did, his hands could not help
touching her breasts. Tirant took the bauble in his hand and
kissed it. Then he fell to his knees, and said:
"'I give you many thanks, my lady, for this great gift. I am
happier with it than if you had given me the entire kingdom of
France.
