SIR BLANDAMOUR (He draws his sword automaticlly upon hearing Raymond's howl, and spurs his great war-horse Shaitann between Eliza and panther-Raymond. Most beasts would have shied away from the mad onslaught, but Shaitann has seen many a fight with man and ferocious beast. He goes back on his haunnches and flails at the pather with his massive front hooves, each the size of a plate, shod with iron. Blandamour aims a terrific fore-cut at the black head.)
