Summary
A freak accident renders Hob unable to remember the beautiful man who strides into his hospital room and declares himself his husband. But oh, does he want to. He knows he's loved this man for centuries, that nothing could make him forget. The best he can do is tell him that, and wait.
Meanwhile, Dream of the Endless experiences being Hob Gadling's beloved spouse, without any of their past hanging between them, and agonises over the realisation that Hob could have loved him if only he'd been better.

Summary
“I’ll guard you for a night,” Hob says, “and say I please you, you can either pay me for a day’s work, or keep me on ‘til you reach where you’re going.”
“Do you know the way to Canterbury?” the lord asks, and Hob nods.
“Oh, yes. It’s a few days’ ride, not more than three or four, by my memory.”
“Then you shall have three days to please me, Robert Gadling.”
In 1389, known mercenary and bandit Hob Gadling offers to escort a strange lord to Canterbury, and wagers that he can guess the man's name in three days.

Summary
Hob Gadling never claimed to be a good man, but living forever had pushed him to be a better one. Perhaps because Hob had lived so long, he reckoned there was something a bit…off with him.

Summary
And the man standing next to her –
Well, he looks exactly what the Devil would look like if he was taking mortal form to tempt sinners: slender as a rail, pale as the moon, dark-haired and dressed all in black, and wearing a huge red ruby on a chain around his neck. Quite frankly, he should make haste to remove it, if he doesn’t want someone else in this roistering shithole to do it for him; it’s worth more than what all the White Horse’s patrons make in a year. Yet for all that, he’s not uncomely, and Hob is not uninterested, or unwilling, if that possibility is on the table. Just to check, he flashes a dazzling smile at the stranger, which is not returned; he is as unreadable as a statue. But he is no statue, he is a man, and his voice is uncommonly deep as he speaks:
“Did I hear you say,” the pale stranger asks, “that you have no intention of ever dying?”
Hob Gadling shrugs. No point in denying it.
“Yeah.”
