chivalry: n. the qualities idealized by knighthood, such as bravery, courtesy, and honor.
chivalrous: adj. characterized by consideration and courtesy, especially towards women.
It’s official. Small but honorable acts of chivalry have recently been detected in the city.
Our sources tell us that:
-
B.B. offered to buy a lady a drink. (The lady was so unaccustomed to the gesture, that in her shock, she declined.)
-
To the cheers of bystanders and to the relief of the driver, several gallant runners in the local Hash House Harriers bravely lifted a car out of a ditch.
-
These same valliant knights stopped traffic so that women and children could cross a busy street.
-
Strong Like Bull nobly picked up the white, linen napkin that fell from a lady’s lap.
-
A chair was offered.
-
A woman was escorted down a dark street to her car.
Although it remains unclear if these unnatural acts are a part of a wider movement within the city, they are deeply appreciated.
