" To come all the way down to my very own revel in, my associate and I, for I sometimes have a companion, take satisfaction in fancying ourselves knights of a new, or alternatively an old, order—now not Equestrians or Chevaliers, no longer Ritters or Riders, but Walkers, a still more historic and honorable magnificence, I agree with. The chivalric and heroic spirit which as soon as belonged to the Rider appears now to are living in, or perchance to have subsided into, the Walker—not the Knight, but Walker Errant. He is a type of fourth property, outside of Church and State and People. "
