falchion

Goodness only knew what a falchion was, but there was the Griffin, and his history was an improvement upon the eternal Cat.

The Griffin carried off one sheep a day from a German village, till a man came with a "falchion" and split the Griffin open.

It was all very strange; though the meeting was quite to be expected, as Mrs. Falchion herself explained that day.

Mrs. Falchion, Justine, and myself travelled slowly up the hillside, talking chiefly upon the events of the morning.

From the time we left the tavern to wander by the river I managed to be a good deal alone with Mrs. Falchion.
