If Jonas Willard and Jim Jeffries were to stand close together, one in front of the other, old Guy's corslet could easily be fitted around both of them, This is the piece of steel armor that used to protect Guy's chest and body from arrows and lance thrusts and sword cuts, Guy's sword blade was about five or six feet long, and #o heavy that no ordinary man could lift it.
