“Ah, the eye?”nodded my guardian.  “It is a portrait of his mistress’ eye to show his love for her.  Enough is shown so that he and her know he is honoring her, but not showing enough that anyone else can identify her with ease.”

“Shameless!” Whispered from where I hid behind my fan.

“Many men have such but only a bold one such as he would wear it openly,” my guardian said, sipping at his spiced wine.  “Most wear theirs concealed but near to their hearts.”
