wyvern

My brother Rupert always goes, and it pleases him to see the Wyvern pew as full as possible.

Lady Cantire (from the interior of the Wyvern omnibus, testily, to Footman).

If my only sister isn't welcome at Wyvern at any time—I say at any time—where the deuce is she welcome?

I—ah—think you are going down to stay at Wyvern for a few days, are you not?

Probably from the same source came such mythical creatures as the dragon, the wyvern, and the cockatrice.
