The new word in my glossary Gallantry means courageous behavior, especially in battle.  In the story the word was being used when it says “And yet,” said he, with the gallantry of a young politician. “for all their worries, what would we do without the ladies?” My definition of that word was that it had to do relative to political.  But instead it has to do with courageous behavior as battling with something.
