"...I shall not set it down in cold words, but fall back on the earlier (and, I think, truer) practice of inventing whole scenes, that folk now dust may live again and be known, not as abstract villainies, but as fallible souls: on whom perhaps God, at the very last, had mercy." (CHAPTER XVII, p. 124)
See "Conjecturally..."
"Sir Roger had established himself on the planet we named New Avalon." (CHAPTER XX, p. 139)

Sir Roger, taken prisoner, is divested of his glaive and misericord but nevertheless is able to kick backward with his spur into an enemy's belly and then rip downward...(CHAPTER XXI, p. 150)

Kaor, Paul!
Yet another example is given by Sir Roger of both his boldness and knowledge of the gruesome tactics of hand to hand, up close and PERSONAL combat. And we then see, in a very moving moment, Brother Parvus comforting the disemboweled and dying Wersgor soldier. I think we should remember that as well.
