I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. Night gathers, and now my watch begins.In the name of the Maid I charge you to protect all women. In the name of the Mother I charge you to defend the young and innocent. In the name of the Father I charge you to be just. In the name of the Warrior I charge you to be brave.Describing Duncan the Tall, to explain why the commoners are on his side. Steely Pate in The Hedge Knight (1998).
