Underneath the hand, as though guarded by it, lay a huge jewel of ruby; a great stone of wondrous bigness, for the ruby is in the main a small jewel. This one was of wondrous colour, being as of fine blood whereon the light shineth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
