The analyses of the text.
He charge me and I seized his lance and pushed its point into the ground, so unhorsing him. I drew him a smile beneath his chin with his own dagger, and thus obtained me mounting and weapons.
["The Guns at Avlon" of The Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny]

Thank you in advance for yourself.
