pikeman

To do this, he was obliged to stand on a projecting beam, holding on by the hand of a pikeman to steady himself.

It was just sunset as Matthew the pikeman went out to receive toll from some one passing, or rather coming quickly up to the gate.

I asked what he meant, telling him that the pikeman owed me at least a shilling.

Here we tasted a dozen varieties of the delicious wine; and I began to have an exact idea of the pikeman's observation.
