The Silver Shield. (LUCY: Silver Shield?) Haven't you heard the fable? Two knights, riding in opposite directions, passed a shield, hung on a tree to mark a boundary, and meeting some time afterwards, one of them happened to make some remark about the Silver Shield they had both ridden past. "Silver," exclaimed the other, "it was gold." Then they disputed, and words came to blows. They fought, and killed each other. When they were both dead, it occurred to somebody to examine the shield, when it turned out that it was gold on one side, and silver on the other. (NED: What jackasses those two knights must have been.) So remarked everybody.
