13354''Why do you not make a show of helping?'' 13354 Ah, Cuthbert,"shouted a man of almost gigantic stature, who appeared to be one of the leaders of the party,"what brings you here, lad, so early?
13354Ah, Master Cuthbert,he said,"what brings you so near to the castle?
13354Am I mad,he said,"or dreaming, or is this really Sir Cuthbert?"
13354And how was that, prithee?
13354And if I refuse to consent to allow my enemy, who is now almost within my hand, to escape,Sir Rudolph said,"what then?"
13354And think you, Father, that it will do good to England?
13354And what can I do for you, Cuthbert?
13354Are you a Christian truly; and if so, whence do you come?
13354Are you bearer of news of my brother Richard?
13354Are you seeking adventures or employment, Sir Knight? 13354 As how, Cuthbert?"
13354But I suppose,Cuthbert said,"that even in winter travelers pass over?"
13354But how on earth is a white flag to be raised from the keep?
13354But if we could escape,Cnut asked,"why not enter by this way?"
13354But supposing, Sir Cuthbert, that they should have closed the gates and lifted the drawbridge? 13354 But surely,"Cuthbert said,"they will never venture to take her by force from the convent?"
13354But why should your mother have taken you away?
13354But why was that, Gurth?
13354Can it be true that you have escaped? 13354 Do you forget,"he said,"the mission upon which you are assembled here?
13354Does the baron know that you are so near?
13354Dost think that you are a fair match?
13354From me?
13354From whom do you bring this wood?
13354From whom have you warrant?
13354Has it never entered your thoughts to attempt a surprise upon his castle?
13354Have I not heard, Gurth,he said,"that you helped to build the Castle of Wortham?"
13354Have you heard or seen anything,he shouted, as he approached,"of the Lady Margaret?
13354Have you seen aught of the king, our master?
13354Have you seen aught to give rise to suspicion?
13354How far are you,Cuthbert asked presently, when Blondel laid his lute aside,"from the estates which were wrongfully wrested from you?"
13354How long is it since you left my brother?
13354How many men have you with you?
13354I have heard much of these Crusades,he said;"canst tell me about them?"
13354If this is the case now,he said to Cuthbert,"what will it be after we have joined the French army?
13354In what way?
13354Is it so?
13354Is the earl going?
13354Is there no way,Cnut exclaimed furiously,"by which we might creep into this den, since we can not burst into it openly?"
13354Is your own castle intact?
13354Know you where we are?
13354May I be so bold as to ask a boon?
13354On what ground did this happen?
13354Think you that the ship has suffered injury?
13354Think you that you will go to the war, Sir Walter?
13354Think you, Sir Rudolph,one of his friends, Sir Hubert of Gloucester, said to him,"that these varlets think of attacking the castle?"
13354What are your plans?
13354What arms shall they use?
13354What can I do for you?
13354What do you advise?
13354What do you think it would be like, Cnut?
13354What fate can have befallen him?
13354What is all this bustle about?
13354What is he like?
13354What is it now, my son?
13354What is it?
13354What is that?
13354What is the news of King Richard?
13354What is to be done now?
13354What makes you think that this is so, Gurth?
13354What mean you,he said,"by this outrage?
13354What means this outrage, young sir? 13354 What profited it,"he asked,"if a few knights who remained to defend the holy sepulcher were heroes?
13354What should lead you to believe that I have any news of King Richard later than that which others have received? 13354 What sound can this be?"
13354What think you,the earl said to the captain,"of our position?
13354What would you do, Cuthbert?
13354What would you do?
13354Where are the band?
13354Where is Cnut?
13354Where is the Lady Margaret?
13354Which is the nearest and best road to Avignon?
13354Whither has she gone?
13354Who would have thought,said the tall forester,"that the lad who but a short time ago was a child should now have sustained the honor of the country?
13354Why did you not go in at once according to your intention?
13354Will you take oath upon the Bible that she is not within these walls?
13354Will you want a light sword and battle- ax?
13354You have not, I suppose,the latter remarked,"as yet seen Prince John?"
13354And where is the noble king imprisoned?"
13354As I was the youngest among the knights who fought for the holy sepulcher, it may be that my appearance is known to you?"
13354As to the terms of peace, how were they made?
13354At what hour do you mean to attack?"
13354But again, lad, why comest thou here?
13354But by what wonderful fortune have you succeeded in escaping?"
13354But how is it that a lad so young as you can have incurred the enmity of those who sought your life?
13354But surely they would not be so unknightly as to hinder so great a champion of Christendom as King Richard on his homeward way?"
13354But who have we here?"
13354Can you tell me further, when the bands now gathering are likely to set forth?"
13354Cuthbert inquired from him whether any news had been heard of King Richard?
13354Did you ever see such a thing?"
13354Has not every knight and noble in these armies taken a solemn oath to put aside private quarrels and feuds until the holy sepulcher is taken?
13354Have you any idea by which road they will enter the forest, or what are their intentions?"
13354He is, as I guess, your companion in this quest; is it not so?"
13354How comes it, Sir Cuthbert, that you are here?"
13354How is it that you come to be a slave to our people?
13354How is it that, although but a youth, you are already a knight?
13354How long, I wonder, do the storms last here?
13354How old is the Lady Margaret?"
13354How strong a force is he likely to have in his castle?"
13354I doubt me not that at present you are as firmly determined to die a Christian knight as those who have gone before you?
13354Is he bent, I wonder, on settling once and for all his quarrels with the Baron of Wortham?
13354Is there aught else I can do for you?"
13354Know ye not that this is the Monastery of St. John, and that it is sacrilege to lay a hand of violence even against its postern?
13354Shall we at this very going off show that the oath is a mere form of words?
13354Shall we go and tell the earl of our discovery?
13354So you have brought Cnut and your four archers safely back with you?"
13354To whom do I owe my life?"
13354Was he with you in the Holy Land?"
13354What course would you advise that I should adopt?
13354What enterprise has Sir Walter on hand now, think you?"
13354What say you, gentlemen?"
13354What then will you do, Sir Cuthbert?"
13354What think you of doing in the meantime?"
13354What think you, Cuthbert?"
13354What think you, captain?"
13354What think you, my lords?
13354What would you have more?"
13354What would you then do?"
13354What, my son, could be expected from a great army so formed?
13354Where are we, and where will the course upon which we are running take us?"
13354Who else, I ask, so circumstanced, could have obtained any terms whatever from Saladin?
13354Who would have thought that a number of men, heathen and infidel though they be, could have made so foul an outcry?"
13354Why, what is it, Cnut?"
13354Will they fight on foot or on horse?"
13354You could not, I suppose, Cuthbert, point out the tent where this conversation took place?"
13354or can he be intending to make a clear sweep of the woods?
13354said the emir,"were you one of the two who, as I have heard, defended the king for some time against all assaults?
12308''Why do you not make a show of helping?'' 12308 Ah, Cuthbert,"shouted a man of almost gigantic stature, who appeared to be one of the leaders of the party,"what brings you here, lad, so early?
12308Ah, Master Cuthbert,he said,"what brings you so near to the castle?

26671''And,''asked Bibars Bendocdar, sternly,''know you not that passage in the Koran which says that they who make war unjustly shall perish?''
26671''Are you,''asked the admiral,''the king''s cousin, as was reported?''
26671''But how am I to trust your report?
26671''But how are you to get there?''
26671''But how come the spices into the water?''
26671''But tell me, sir knight,''continued Walter, eagerly, what has happened, since that dreadful day, to the pilgrim army?
26671''But what have we here?''
26671''But wherefore write to the queen, who is but a woman?''
26671''But who comes hither, and in such a plight?''
26671''But, sire,''asked Joinville, innocently,''why should I drink water then more than now?''
26671''By St. John of Beverley,''exclaimed the squire, in great astonishment,''deem you that matters are so much changed, sir knight?''
26671''Caliph,''asked Oulagon approaching,''dost thou hunger?''
26671''Christian warriors,''said he,''I come from your king to ask whither are you flying?
26671''Frenchmen,''said Louis, reproachfully,''why do you persecute this man?
26671''How am I, being in a strange country, to find this caravan of which you speak?''
26671''How could you make such an answer?''
26671''How is this?''
26671''In what way?''
26671''In wonder''s name, skipper,''said he, sternly,''how happens this?''
26671''King Cambyses?''
26671''King,''said the ambassador,''the sultan has sent to ask how much money you will give for your ransom, besides restoring Damietta?''
26671''Knowest thou these treasures, caliph?''
26671''Madam, madam,''exclaimed Margaret, in despair,''will you not allow me to see my husband, either when I am living, or when I am dying?''
26671''My lord,''said the Count of Anjou, jocularly addressing Henry,''why have you invited the French to dine with you in this house of all others?
26671''My men, is your work done?''
26671''Of what, noble earl?''
26671''Of whom speak you?''
26671''Oh, good Walter,''exclaimed Guy Muschamp, whose spirit rose with the excitement,''is not this a stirring scene?
26671''Seneschal,''said Louis, turning to Joinville,''what is your opinion?''
26671''Serpents often lurk where flowers grow,''said Walter;''but what new tidings of mishap have clouded your brow?''
26671''Sir knight,''said Walter, amazed, and almost terrified,''what aileth thee?''
26671''Sir knight,''said he,''I would fain enquire if you know what has befallen the English squire, by name Walter Espec?''
26671''Sir knight,''said the queen,''what is all that noise I hear?''
26671''Sire,''said he, wishing to break the news gently,''I know not if you have heard tidings of your noble brother, the Count of Artois?''
26671''What do you say to be put in this engine of punishment?''
26671''What if, after all, these emirs should prove false to their covenant?''
26671''What is to be done now?''
26671''What of the King of France?
26671''What tidings?''
26671''Wherefore,''suggested the Earl,''you would have us do likewise, as deeming the ceremony likely to deliver us from our peril?''
26671''Who are you?''
26671''Who is bold enough to make the attempt?''
26671''Who is he?''
26671''Who is the leader of that army?''
26671''Why, then, do you advise me to quit it?''
26671''You are of the English nation?''
26671''You bring tidings of woe?''
26671Am I in Damietta, and do I see you, and in the body?''
26671And then asked,''But who are you, and why became you a renegade?''
26671And what in the meantime was taking place in Damietta?
26671And what was the state of affairs before the city?
26671And who was Bibars Bendocdar?
26671And who was the squire, who had entered the service of Joinville at Damietta, and afterwards been taken prisoner by the Saracens?
26671And why was the brave boy so sad?
26671Are you willing to accompany me and share my fortunes, or must we part?''
26671But how came you hither?''
26671But what can I do?
26671But what can I do?
26671But who can tell what a day may bring forth?
26671Canst tell me what knights they be who come along so proudly?''
26671Denis?''
26671Do you defend this Englishman and take part with him against Frenchmen, who are of your own country and kindred?''
26671Have you any acquaintance with the Emperor Frederic, or are you of his lineage?''
26671How am I to know that your intent is not to betray me?''
26671In considering their energy and cruelty as warriors, is it wonderful that their movements should have been regarded with lively alarm?
26671Is it true that it takes its rise in the terrestrial paradise?''
26671Is it, think you, to overthrow the Church and betray the cause of Christ, that we abandon our homes and kindred?
26671Know you not that we can instantly order your head to be struck off?''
26671Knowest thou that the Moslems have a proverb which says,"Hearken to a Frank, and hear a fable?"''
26671Now in the midst of all this suffering and anxiety, what had become of Guy Muschamp?
26671Now, have you the courage-- for courage will be needed-- to enter the Holy City, held as it is by fierce Saracens, and kneel at the Holy Sepulchre?''
26671Now, young gentlemen,''said he, addressing Guy and Walter,''will you take service with the prince, and go to war under his banner?''
26671Sebastian''s- day?''
26671See you not that the horses of the unbelievers are swifter than yours?''
26671See you not that their horses are swifter than ours, and we must go cunningly to work?
26671The approach of an enemy?
26671What Mussulman can refuse to march against them, and avenge the glory of Islamism?''
26671What could it be?
26671What madness excites you?''
26671What thinkest thou of a movement to Constantinople?''
26671What was it?
26671What will you give me for having freed you from an enemy who meditated your destruction as well as ours?''
26671Whence comes this river, the Nile, of which so many stories are told?
26671Where will you be pleased to take up your abode?
26671Wherefore should we dye our weapons in each other''s blood?''
26671Wherefore should you fall a victim to the madness of my Lord of Artois, or the pride of my Lord of Salisbury?''
26671Whether would you be a leper, or have committed a deadly sin?''
26671Who at that time could have imagined the mischief of which this bridge was subsequently to be the cause?
26671Why not at once attack Cairo, which is the capital of Egypt?
26671Why should we take the habit of religion, and pass our lives in a foreign land amid perils and fatigues?
26671and if you know aught of my brother- in- arms, Guy Muschamp?''
26671and,"Who is thy prophet?"''
26671cried he to his people in the prow;''are you ready?''
26671cried the emir, furiously presenting the point of his sword;''know you not that I am master of your person?
26671cried they, addressing the king, wildly and fiercely;''art thou ignorant of thy danger, or what may be the fate that awaits thee?
26671dost think King Richard is there?"
26671exclaimed Bibars Bendocdar, impatiently;''know you not your danger?
26671exclaimed Bisset,''rearing as an assassin?
26671exclaimed Walter, astonished;''and how came I to Damietta?
26671said Bisset, staring in amaze,''what is this I see?''
26671was it fire?
39701A curse upon him? 39701 And Enzio--?"
39701And Jaqueline, the lady''s maid?
39701And did the spirited damsel smile upon thy suit?
39701And dost thou encourage them in evil speaking of their mistress, by listening to their idle tales?
39701And had the superlative beauty of the Red King''s ward no influence?
39701And hast thou not heard of the siege of St. Michael''s Mount?
39701And hast thou then doubted the affection of Adela?
39701And have these gases been able to effect the desirable changes?
39701And how long have you dwelt at the castle?
39701And how looks the candidate for our favor; is he fair and wise?
39701And how would''st thou purpose that I should bind them to their allegiance?
39701And if I say, draw thy sword for the good Prince Edward, wilt follow me?
39701And if he were retainer of the outlaw?
39701And if reason determined thy return, wherefore comest thou alone?
39701And were not the establishment of Christian powers in Asia a worthy purpose?
39701And were these pirates Infidels?
39701And what became of thy father?
39701And what do men say?
39701And what dost thou consider the chief agent in the universe?
39701And what farther chanced to the Saxon?
39701And what is the name of the fair creature with the golden locks?
39701And what kind hand tended thy illness?
39701And what said the Atheling to thy visionary scheme?
39701And what wouldst thou, sir knight?
39701And where am I?
39701And where is your mother?
39701And wherefore comes not Robert with thee?
39701And wherefore comest thou hither? 39701 And wherefore didst thou commit to a dying man the precious jewel which I saw in thy hand?"
39701And who art thou, my pretty page?
39701And who art thou, pert boy?
39701And who art thou, that darest to cross the purpose of D''Essai? 39701 And why did Jaqueline leave the castle?"
39701And why fatal?
39701And your father?
39701Are not the Tartars of the same race as the Turks?
39701Are there not some who say, that Gog and Magog are the heresies which vex the church?
39701Art thou the bearer of good tidings?
39701Art vexed that my ear loved not the sound of thy lute, peevish child?
39701Aye, verily,replied the Jew, fiercely,"but how does the Lord repay vengeance?
39701But by what fatal mischance came I hither? 39701 But by what means hath she discovered herself to thee in this strange land?"
39701But do not the people of God always triumph in the battles with the Infidels?
39701But doth the exile''s heart serenely dwell in sunshine there?
39701But since your grace on foreign coasts, Among your foes unkind, Must go to hazard life and limb, Why should I stay behind? 39701 But thou didst start and turn pale when the White Knight disclosed the features of Plantagenet?"
39701But wherefore the monkish habit? 39701 But wherefore wouldst thou to England?"
39701By what means were these wonderful works produced?
39701By what title claimest_ thou_ allegiance to that fallen house?
39701Canst judge if it be a metal?
39701Canst tell me aught of the movements of the rebel barons, or the fate of my brave knights?
39701Certes,said Petronilla,"and were it not a fitting time and place to hold the festival of our Court of Love?
39701Could he speak with Adam Henrid?
39701Despair not,replied the noble Melech,"for what saith the proverb?
39701Did I not tell thee it would thwart his dearest wish?
39701Did he rejoin the christian army?
39701Did not his peers deem him worthy a principality in Palestine?
39701Did not the vows of knighthood alone forbid thee to abandon the holy cause?
39701Did wife and children draw my husband from the paths of glory and the cause of God?
39701Didst not mark the battle- axe of the rude seneschal? 39701 Do not the people love her gracious majesty, my royal mother?"
39701Do you like letter- reading? 39701 Does thy realm of England abound in such comely damsels?"
39701Dost reject my gift, or hath some sudden illness seized thee?
39701Hast come to bring a blessing to the habitation of Hardrager?
39701Hast ever been in London?
39701Hast heard aught of the Countess of Huntingdon?
39701Hast thou brought the metal I gave thee?
39701Heaven bless thee for thy news,said Adela, in a transport of joy;"and Robert?"
39701How is this? 39701 How is this?"
39701How knowest thou this?
39701How leagued with thy foes?
39701How so?
39701How?
39701I feared me some mischance had occasioned it,said Adela,"but seeing thee well, I am happy-- yet wherefore art thou come?"
39701I know that I am wrong,said Eva,"but why does not his Holiness take the cross himself, if he considers it such a pious work?"
39701In truth, I marked such a youth,said Adela, blushing,"but wherefore frequents he not the court?"
39701Is the count, then, in Rouen?
39701Is there aught,said she,"of interest to thyself or others in which I can aid thee?"
39701Is this thine habitation?
39701Lives there not one of all the princely house?
39701Might he gain a moment''s audience of the Lady de Clifford?
39701Miserable man,exclaimed Adela,"hast thou betrayed the army of the Lord?"
39701Part we so soon, sir knight?
39701Rememberest thou, my sister,said he,"the valiant Plantagenet, who so gallantly bore off the honors of our tournament?"
39701Seest thou not a troop of horse, winding along the brow of the hill? 39701 They exact, then, toll and custom?"
39701Thinkest thou the English curtel axe no better weapon than a Gascon''s spear?
39701Thou hast a turn for adventure, pretty page, and I''ll warrant me, ready tongue, but how dost thou think to gain speech with Prince Edward?
39701Thou lovest Sir Henry, then?
39701Turn thy eyes to the stars, emblems of unchanging faith, and tell me truly, wilt thou be to Edwin a guardian Fylgia in weal or woe?
39701Was not your father, the great Leicester, dragged a public spectacle, by the hair of the head through the streets of Evesham?
39701What dazzling vision is this?
39701What dost thou now observe?
39701What is thy name?
39701What is''t we live for? 39701 What of my lord?"
39701What of my queen? 39701 What priestly scheme hast thou in hand?"
39701What saith the proverb?
39701What thing so good which not some harm may bring? 39701 What whisper ye?"
39701Whence hast thou the dove, and what is his errand?
39701Where could Henry find balls of silk? 39701 Where hast thou known Count Richard?"
39701Where is the petulant Peyrol?
39701Where is the traitor? 39701 Who brought you hither?"
39701Who but the squire to my Lord de Mortimer? 39701 Who has put this foolish conceit into thy young head?
39701Whom have we here?
39701Whose page art thou?
39701Why do you weep?
39701Why grieves my Rose, my sweetest Rose?
39701Wouldst ought with me?
39701Alphonso advancing took up the crucible, saying,"What seest thou, my sister?"
39701Am I to be subject to nurses, dosed with physic, and soothed with lullabys, like a muling child?
39701And I said, whose tomb is this?
39701And all the conquests which them high did rear Be they all dead, or shall again appear?
39701And did he not find thee needy, and hath he not enriched thee?
39701And did he not find thee wandering in error, and hath he not guided thee into the truth?
39701And who was the fair inmate?"
39701Answer me positively, are not these things my right?"
39701As they took their solitary way between the camp and the walls of Acre, Salaman ventured to inquire,"Whither goest thou, Elsiebede?"
39701But by what means had she been conveyed from the retreat where she had so long dwelt content with his love, and happy in the caresses of her children?
39701But how learnedst thou these things?"
39701But must I leave thee here alone and unprotected?"
39701But wherefore didst thou detain thy unworthy Beauclerk, is there not kingdom or duchy for him?"
39701By what power is our Earth carried around the Sun?"
39701By what right dost thou interfere between me and my bride?"
39701Can Christian lore, can patriot''s zeal, Can love of blessed charity?
39701Can piety the discord heal, Or stanch the death- feud''s enmity?
39701Canst thou point me to the home of this fair damsel?"
39701Comes he direct from the Holy Land?"
39701Could a permanent christian kingdom be founded in Palestine?
39701Did he not commission the sword to cut off the Canaanites, the Midianites, the Assyrians, and those who vexed his people in every age?
39701Did not he find thee an orphan, and hath he not taken care of thee?
39701Doth not the heart seek happiness as the flower seeks the light?
39701Dwells she in the trembling tent of age?
39701E''en to be happy is a dangerous thing?"
39701For what saith the proverb?
39701For whose pleasure and privacy was the labyrinth contrived?
39701Had her indignant father returned from the Holy Land, and immured her in the dungeons of Clifford castle to hide her shame?
39701Had she made her couch in the cold, dark grave?
39701Has he no song for the ear of his lady?"
39701Has the Jew resolved to do penance for his sins?"
39701Has the Saviour, for my sins, denied me at last the sight of his holy sepulchre?"
39701Has the same blow that still keeps the blood dancing in the brain of thy brother, paralyzed thy hand?"
39701Hast news of my chancellor?"
39701Hast thou Sir Isumbras seen?
39701Have I then been the dupe, as well as the prey of my designing brothers?"
39701Have they discovered the long- sought principle?
39701How canst thou sustain such assertions?"
39701How couldst thou listen to such vain parlance?"
39701How have they sped in their encounters with the Infidels?"
39701How is this?"
39701How meanest thou, silly child?"
39701I would fain learn something of this strange people,"said Adela;"do they observe the rites of our church?"
39701Is it not by the hand of man he brings retribution upon the guilty?
39701Is it not so?"
39701Is there no gift in the power of Adela which Ingulfus would accept?"
39701Knowest thou not he is leagued with thy father''s foes?
39701Knowest thou not the proverb?
39701Life, what had it been to him?
39701Longsword, shamest thou the blood of the Plantagenet by counselling with women and leeches?
39701Loves he aught else?
39701One of his knights, fit follower of such a master, inquired as he rejoined his troop,"What has my lord Guy de Montfort done?"
39701Or had some other hand dared to blot out the life so dear to him?
39701Remains there none of Lord Walter''s kin to offer welcome or charity in our lady''s name?"
39701Rememberest thou not the words of the confessor, that the pomps and vanities of the world lead the soul astray?"
39701Shall I then leave her under the power of the tyrant?
39701Shall our beautiful Palermo be defiled by strangers?
39701Should Damascus become an appanage of Jerusalem, a fief of the French crown, or a German principality?
39701Tears shone in Berengaria''s eyes, and she added,"Why wilt thou misunderstand me?
39701The philosopher remained silent for a moment, and then answered,"knowest thou the effect of the measures thou proposest?"
39701Then the heralds rang out a shrill note upon the trumpets, expressive of the demand,"What shall be done with the false- hearted knave?"
39701Then turning calmly to the knights,"Reginald,"said he,"I have granted thee many favors, what is thy object now?
39701There was a battle-- there was a defeat-- there was a prisoner-- The Vicar of Christ, showed he mercy?
39701Was it Woden the storm- throned, that thus with relentless fury pursued the Viking''s progeny,--despoilers of the Saxon race?
39701Was she a wanderer and an outcast, with a bleeding heart and a blighted name?
39701Was this tortuous path the road to a mortal habitation?
39701What gambols art thou playing again in thy sleep?
39701What hand had planted the rare exotic adjacent to the hawthorn and the sloe?
39701What has this sceptre brought me?
39701Where are thy guards, thy royal escort?--where thy maiden train, thy counsellors of state?
39701Where be the battles, where the shield and spear?
39701Where be the bold achievements done by some?
39701Where is the antique glory now become, That while some wo nt in woman to appear?
39701Where is the archbishop?"
39701Which shall I choose for her, the yoke, or honor?
39701Whom would she first delight to honor?"
39701Why dost thou hesitate?"
39701Why must I die without discovering the sublime agencies?"
39701With instinctive fear, she clung tremblingly to the arm of her resolute dependent, whispering,"Whither dost thou lead me?
39701Yet whence--""Is it not a miracle,"interrupted the philosopher, laughing,"more real than thy fancied transubstantiation?"
39701and why under such convoy?"
39701inquired Edward,"that hast so dexterously redeemed thy prince, and whither dost thou conduct me?"
39701knave, where got''st thou the bauble?
39701knows he of thy purpose?"
39701of England?"
39701of Joanna?
39701oh canst thou not forgive?"
39701or has the angel Azrael drawn around her silent couch the curtain of perpetual night?"
39701said Eleanora,"and how hast thou wandered into this wild?"
39701said he to Eva, lifting the boy tenderly from his knees,"why has the banished outlaw sought thy fair lips to plead his cause?
39701said the philosopher, in an accent of despair,"why art thou so brief?
39701shouted he, starting from his seat,"dost thou think to win my favor by bringing me the head of thy murdered lord?
39701where is Becket, why comes not my friend and counsellor?"
6350A boy? 6350 A crest?"
6350A friend? 6350 A monk?"
6350A right?
6350Am I? 6350 And come you hither for the Pope''s justice?"
6350And did you not know that I was with the army?
6350And had I? 6350 And has your Grace no deed for me to do?"
6350And how came you by such a wound?
6350And how could she tell that I did not know where you were, or that I could not send you a message which might contradict hers?
6350And let your uncle Gloucester be put to death by Stephen''s wife?
6350And not go to see my mother?
6350And now, I say, is not the Church of God your mother, and are not her temples your most holy places? 6350 And on the faith of love, too?"
6350And said he anything? 6350 And she never told you her stepmother''s name, and never mentioned this Englishman?"
6350And then? 6350 And therefore thought yourselves free to rob strangers and steal cattle, and cut one anothers''throats?"
6350And what are those beliefs?
6350And what device shall I set in this man''s shield?
6350And who are you, sir, that seek the Duke?
6350And who is that?
6350And who is this?
6350And who should dare touch us?
6350And why are you left behind?
6350And why not to fight?
6350And you are come to do as you are bidden, getting admittance to me stealthily, with men of my own who have betrayed me?
6350And you ask nothing of me?
6350And you? 6350 Are you a Norman, sir?"
6350Are you a kinsman of Guiscard and of them that last burnt Rome? 6350 Are you alone?"
6350Are you angry because Master Gilbert is frightened?
6350Are you angry now?
6350Are you one of those persons for whom it is necessary to explain everything?
6350Are you so anxious for my safety as that?
6350Are you so young, and have you already such desperate sorrows?
6350Are you the first? 6350 Are you too deeply occupied to talk with me awhile?
6350At all times?
6350At the risk of the Queen''s displeasure?
6350Beatrix? 6350 Bernard of Clairvaux-- a leader of men?
6350But if you are, why are you not in Gloucester?
6350But that is not all,she continued thoughtfully;"was there no woman-- no love-- no one that was dearer than all you lost?"
6350But the question,she continued,"is what am I to do for the man?"
6350But what does it matter, after all, since we have met at last?
6350By''simple,''do you mean foolish, or do you mean plain?
6350Can a man marry his mother''s husband''s child?
6350Can not? 6350 Can you not believe us?"
6350Can you tell me where I can find the messenger who brought you this?
6350Could you not send me any word?
6350Did you come here in your sleep?
6350Do I seem so strange to you?
6350Do you know him?
6350Do you laugh at me, sir?
6350Do you mean that I love you as I might a sister?
6350Do you not think that the Queen of France is the most beautiful woman in the world?
6350Do you really believe that I do not love you?
6350Do you say this because Norman men hold half of your Italy?
6350Do you understand this?
6350Do you wish to draw away the crowd so as to make room for the Queen?
6350Does a man risk his life desperately, as he did, for the woman he loves, or for another, when both are in like danger?
6350For that matter, are you better?
6350From England? 6350 Gilbert Warde,"he asked,"do you not know me?"
6350Gilbert, what are we to each other? 6350 Had he no other blood to give you than his own?
6350Have I not told you how I have thought of you day after day, hoping that you might think well of my deeds?
6350Have they held it well or ill?
6350Have you not told me that your father has married his mother? 6350 How came you by this?"
6350How can it be anything else?
6350How can your life be hateful?
6350How could we guess that you were breakfasting out here this morning? 6350 How did you know?"
6350How is it that I have never found you before now?
6350How long has the Queen loved you?
6350How?
6350I love the Queen? 6350 I mean to be your friend, your best friend-- do you understand?"
6350I meant, is she beautiful?
6350I never told you so? 6350 I?"
6350If he loves me, is that no right?
6350If he loves you? 6350 If men knew-- what?"
6350If we fall out among ourselves,said Eleanor, at last,"who shall unite us?
6350If you do not, how can I tell you what I mean?
6350Is Beatrix here?
6350Is Paris so dull? 6350 Is Stoke not mine?
6350Is it so urgent?
6350Is she fair?
6350Is there nothing whereby I may prove my thanks?
6350Is this more simplicity, or is it more dulness?
6350Lady Anne, shall I send it to him, or shall he come here? 6350 Let me see-- why not your Grace''s own?
6350Love?
6350Madam, what did you mean?
6350Madam,said Gilbert, suddenly determined to know the truth,"is Beatrix here with you or not?
6350Madam,said Gilbert,"think of your own present safety-- the King is very angry--""Did I think of your safety when I sent you out to lead us?
6350Might I not even bid him good- by, as a friend might?
6350Monks?
6350Not often enough, you think? 6350 Not quite?"
6350Of whom?
6350On my soul-- on the Holy Cross--"Never loved her? 6350 On your knightly faith?"
6350Or are you frightened because his lordship, the Count of Anjou, is angry?
6350Proud of me?
6350Saw you the gentleman to whom it belongs?
6350Shall I have the new tunic if I save the Lady Beatrix-- and the Queen of France?
6350Shall the earth that drank that blood be as other earth? 6350 Shall we turn aside and ride up the mountain, to let them pass?"
6350She is very silent, is she not?
6350Sir,said Dunstan,"will you let me touch the Lady Beatrix?"
6350Such as teaching me to play tennis?
6350The Duchess of, Gascony?
6350The Lord of Stoke?
6350The matter?
6350The question you asked today?
6350Then you are zealous only to obey me? 6350 Then you know him well?"
6350Then you love her?
6350There is nothing the matter; why do you ask?
6350They talk of sending hundreds of thousands of Christian men to die every death under God''s sun in Palestine-- for what? 6350 Was it so very friendly?"
6350Was it without conviction that you took the Cross from my hands to- day?
6350Well, what then?
6350Well?
6350Well?
6350Were they unkind to you?
6350Were you with the Queen at Vezelay? 6350 What am I to you, that you should fight for me?
6350What can you do that I can not?
6350What did you say?
6350What does Beatrix de Curboil say of him?
6350What have I done that you should say such a thing?
6350What have lands and fortune to do with friendship-- or with love?
6350What is it that you understand?
6350What is it?
6350What is it?
6350What is it?
6350What is the matter?
6350What is this?
6350What makes you so sad?
6350What said he?
6350What satisfaction shall you get from that? 6350 What shall I do now?"
6350What should you do yourself?
6350What then?
6350What things may those be?
6350What?
6350What?
6350Where should we go?
6350Who are you?
6350Who is her husband?
6350Who is it?
6350Who is that man?
6350Who sends me such presents?
6350Who should dare to lay a hand on you?
6350Why did you come here?
6350Why do you call me ignorant? 6350 Why have you come to me?"
6350Why not? 6350 Why not?"
6350Why should I go back?
6350Why should I go?
6350Why should you defend me?
6350Why?
6350Why?
6350Will you answer a fair question fairly, Master Gilbert?
6350Will you give me a lesson, Master Gilbert?
6350Will you teach me to play tennis?
6350Will you teach me to play, if I come down to you?
6350Yes; what does it matter?
6350You have never seen Rome before? 6350 You have played with me, tricked me, made me your toy--""Did you hear this man say that he did not love me, before I bade him good- by?"
6350You knew that I was here? 6350 Your Grace is alone?"
6350A general?"
6350A soldier?
6350Am I not my father''s son?"
6350And what may you be doing in Normandy, young sir?
6350And you, sir?
6350And, Gilbert, you will not wait till I send for you another time?
6350Angry?
6350Are you beside yourself?"
6350Are you hurt, sir?"
6350Are you so great in mind and so poor in sense as to think that he could lead men and win?
6350Are you the last?
6350Are you to be a woman to me, a woman, at one moment, and a sovereign to me, a subject, at the next?
6350Brother and sister?"
6350But how should I know?
6350But if she had killed my uncle, well, what of that?
6350Can I furnish you the girdle of honesty for the virtue you have not?
6350Can I give you faith as a salve, wherewith to anoint your blind eyes?
6350Do you believe me, Gilbert?"
6350Gilbert-- a dreadful thing has happened; did he tell you?"
6350Has Rome made an end of deceiving, and found the termination of disappointment?
6350Have you been with her on all the march?"
6350Have you no message?"
6350He?
6350How could I live with them?
6350How should I fear you, since I can wring you to death in my hands if I will?
6350How?"
6350I asked where she was, but you would not answer and were angry--""I?
6350I sent you out to die-- why should you wish me to be safe?"
6350If men lose faith in the cause before them and grow greedy of the things that lie in their way, who shall set them right?"
6350Is Gilbert a god that he should not yield to you?
6350Is it not enough that the strong should not wantonly bruise the weak nor deal unfairly by him?
6350Is our court so grave?
6350Is that your justice?"
6350Is the tomb where God rested Him of His crucified manhood to be given up to forgetfulness and defilement?
6350Is there any among you who would not fight, while he had breath, to save his father''s dead bones from dishonour?
6350Is your face nothing, is your power nothing, is it nothing that you can hide me from him at your pleasure, or let me see him as you will?
6350Never made you think so?
6350No-- how could I have lived with them, knowing what I did, even had they been ever so kind?"
6350Now if you are here, am I not safe?
6350Of what country may you be?"
6350Or are we sinless, that we need not even the memory of the sacrifice, and so pure that we need no purification?
6350Or if he must, in your ideal, then why should not the strong nation share her strength and wealth with her weak neighbour?
6350Shall I promise repentance for you to God, while you smile on your next lover?
6350Shall any one say that such true prayers are not heard, because they are spoken by lips that have sinned?
6350Shall that be all?"
6350Shall the place that echoed the seven words of agony be as other places?
6350The Cross of Aquitaine?"
6350To lift up a race?
6350To plant good, that good may grow?
6350To save men?
6350Was it not unknightly of him?"
6350Was not the Queen of France his friend?
6350Were you in my place, which should you do?"
6350What can I do?"
6350What is the matter?"
6350What right have you to the man I love?
6350What thing shall I give him to attempt?"
6350What was there in Beatrix to hold him, after all?
6350What would you of me?
6350Where is the difference?"
6350Which is it to be?"
6350Who should preach another crusade in our day?"
6350Why did you leave your home?"
6350Why do you come here to- night?
6350Why have you sought me out?"
6350Why should I care?"
6350Why should the strong man share with the weak what he may keep for himself?
6350Why?"
6350Will you do this?"
6350Woman to woman, tell me what right you have?"
6350Would any man think twice in choosing?
6350Would you go back to the old times when we were boy and girl?
6350Would you take it back?"
6350Would you, if you could?"
6350You will try and see me-- of your own accord?"
6350[ Illustration:"PERHAPS THAT IS ONE REASON WHY I LIKE YOU"]"You did not know that the window was mine?"
6350she asked,"How should life not be hateful, when every natural thing that makes life worth living is choked as soon as it is awake?
392And what art thou?
392And who,quoth Eustace, angry,"dares deny My fellowship?"
392But,quoth Ubaldo,"dame, I pray thee teach Of that hid world, what be the laws and speech?"
392Rambald,quoth she,"why should you grudge or plain, If I a champion, you an helper gain?
392Who,quoth the other,"choseth thee to prove This high exploit of hers?"
392Against his wrath who dares himself oppose?
392All other breasts to you are marble stone, Dare you then pierce a woman''s bosom thin?
392Am I so honored?
392And do I love him still, and on this sand Still unrevenged, still mourn, still weeping stand?
392And wilt thou idly here attend the morn?"
392Argantes gan with boasting words to call,"Who cometh next?
392Behold him here that all your host defies: Why comes not Tancred, whose great hardiment, With you is prized so dear?
392But of the sacked town the image true Who can describe, or paint the woful state, Or with fit words this spectacle express Who can?
392But say, what messengers shall for him go?
392By wounding Christians, will you again Pierce Christ, whose parts they are and members good?
392CIV Which heard, Raymondo thus bespake this crew,"The town is won, my friends, and doth it yet Resist?
392CXIV He said,"O Vafrine, tell me, whence com''st thou?
392CXXIV Alas, among so many, could not one, Not one draw blood, one wound or rend his skin?
392Can it naught do?
392Canst thou that kingdom lately lost of thine Recover thus, or thus redress thy harm?
392Com''st thou to comfort me for sorrows past?
392Com''st thou to save my life?
392Could he not stay?
392Dare flocks of crows, a flight of eagles meet?
392Dares none come forth?
392Did not this fatal war affront thy coast?
392For if he need, what grace could then be got, If thus of peace he broke or loosed the knot?
392From you how sweet methinketh blows the air, How comforts it my heart, my soul, my thought?
392Gainst death and danger who dares battle make, With so bold face, so fearless heart as he?
392Given me but late, too late, in sign of peace, How haps it now thou canst not stir nor move?
392Hast thou forgot her in so short a while?
392His shamefacedness to Godfrey plain bewrays His flight, so does his sighs and sadness deep: Whereat amazed,"What chance is this?"
392How fresh?
392How gay?
392How sore their combat was?
392How these he scorns, threats those, lays them on ground?
392If I retire, who shall cut down this spring?
392Is it so great a bliss to be a king, When he that wears the crown with blood is stained And buys his sceptre with his people''s lives?
392Is maidenhood so great a load to bear?
392Is not in me sufficient courage found, To bear the anger of this tyrant wild?
392Is this the fire alike should burn our hearts?
392Is this the hoped- for day, Should join me to this long- desired dame?
392L"But what avail high walls or bulwarks strong, Where fainting cowards have the piece to guard?

392LXXVIII"But where, alas, where be those relics sweet, Wherein dwelt late all love, all joy, all good?
392LXXXI Thither he galloped fast, and drawing near Rambaldo knew the knight, and loudly cried,"Whence comes young Eustace, and what seeks he here?"
392LXXXII"Love hath Eustatio chosen, Fortune thee, In thy conceit which is the best election?"
392LXXXIV"If me you love, why wish you me deprived In so great need of such a puissant knight?
392LXXXV The Pagan cast a scornful smile and said,"But where is Tancred, is he still in bed?
392LXXXVIII"I know the men that have the gate to ward, If she command dare not her will deny, In what sort else could I beguile the guard?

392Of Godfrey''s falsehood who can witness bear?
392Of thy fair cheek where is the purple red, And forehead''s whiteness?
392Oh then, what marble pillar shall uphold The falling trophies of your conquest fair?
392Oh whither doth thy rage thee chase?
392Oh, what shall be thy gain?
392Oh, when the Christian lord this town espies How merry were their hearts?
392Oh, whither do you fly?
392Or comest thou to work me grief and harm?
392Or else, ere we expect, what if they came?
392Or hath fond love thy heart so over- gone?
392Or in the torments of your endless ill, Are you still fierce, still proud, rebellious still?
392Or is thy shield, with blood and dust defiled, A dearer armful than thy tender child?"
392Or on them do you trust To spend their blood, that could scarce spare their dust?
392Or with stayed patience, reproaches hear, And not revenge by battle or by fight?
392Shall I entreat, or else command the man?
392Shall we no share in this high conquest get?"
392She asked an aged man, seemed grave and good,"Come say me, sir,"quoth she,"what hard constraint Would murder here love''s queen and beauty''s king?
392Silence was made awhile, when Godfrey thus,--"Raymondo, say, what counsel givest thou us?"

392XXVIII Oh what strange monsters on the battlement In loathsome forms stood to defend the place?

6490And, pray, sir, are ye come from the Holy Land?--Heard ye any tidings there of him that was Constable of Chester?
6490Are you surprised at that, lady?
6490Ay? 6490 Beg from beggars?"
6490Benedictine, reverend father,said the unhappy young man;"are you a priest come to unburden my conscience?"
6490But I demand, once more, wherefore thou canst not, or rather wilt not, accept this trust?
6490But I may offer the shelter of your roof to these three, at least?
6490But are we to go alone, or is there no lord or lady in the castle who would take pleasure to see a piece of game gallantly struck? 6490 But as to your young lady''s marriage?"
6490But hark you,continued the Constable,"are there left no ancient servants of the House, that could speak out as well as you?"
6490But my father''s wishes?
6490But the safety of this castle-- But your own safety?
6490But what can you expect of a man too fond of his own hasty and flashy compositions, to take the assistance of men of reading and of solid parts?
6490But what shall wipe out the shame?
6490But what would it avail thee to have thy cattle within the fortress? 6490 But what would you have, lady?
6490By my appointment?
6490Canst thou do any jugglers''feats, minstrel?
6490Come, Sir Minstrel, I will spare you a pang-- Eveline has forsaken and forgotten me?
6490Could this be my uncle''s sincere purpose?
6490Darest thou ask?
6490Dearest lady,said Rose,"will it please you to take my mantle?"
6490Dennis Morolt,said the veteran soldier,"are our vassals and liegemen all mustered?"
6490Do you doubt my skill?
6490Do you scorn my proffer, damsel?
6490Do you upbraid the Church with your services, vain man?
6490Does no one know this caitiff?
6490Faithful, also, is he not?
6490Father,she said,"what means this?
6490Gwenwyn hath then fallen?
6490Has not such disobedience cost your house enough already?
6490Have you no care of it-- Because you love_ par amours_, is it reasonable you should throw away your life and ours?
6490He is a stout soldier, is he not?
6490His services?
6490How and wherefore?
6490How is this, daughter?
6490How is this, fellow?
6490How is this, my masters?
6490How mean you, maiden?
6490How meanest thou?-or hast thou any meaning, save to torment me?
6490How now, sir knave,said the Constable, raising himself on his elbow, from what drunken rhymer did you learn that half- witted satire?"
6490How now, sir?
6490How now?--What art thou?
6490How should I know that,said Genvil,"or thou either?
6490How should I tell?
6490How thinkest thou of this day''s work?
6490How-- wherefore-- what dost thou mean?
6490I am therefore to yield the castle to the Welshman, or restore him his cattle?
6490I ask you again, Rose,said her mistress, still with discomposure, though less angrily than at first,"whom you directed to break into my apartment?"
6490I asked of my harp,''Who hath injured thy chords?'' 6490 I asked the green oak of the assembly, wherefore its boughs were dry and seared like the horns of the stag?
6490I asked the red- hot iron, when it glimmered on the anvil,''Wherefore glowest thou longer than the firebrand?'' 6490 I see you are a most discerning woman, gossip Gillian,"answered the merchant;"and yonder youth that supported her is her bridegroom?"
6490If you do not,said Gillian,"who should?--Shall I call the other women, and raise the house?"
6490In the name of all the saints, thou peevish and suspicious fool, what is it thou canst found upon to his prejudice?
6490Is his brain unsettled?
6490Is it Hugo de Lacy speaks thus?
6490Is it a priest whom you bring me, warden?
6490Is it for thee, or such as thee, to express doubt of the purposes of the Prince of Powys?
6490Is not this better than laying your dog- leash on your loving wife, as if she were a brach of the kennel?
6490Is she safe and unharmed?
6490Is the Archbishop present in this city?
6490Is there nothing in which my poor service may avail?
6490Is this thy mighty secret?
6490Is this true?
6490It is not your reverence''s pleasure that I should restore the cattle unto them, then?
6490It was then your mother,said her young lady,"of whose unhappy wedlock you have spoken?"
6490Let me answer that question with another-- How long has the Constable of Chester been absent from England?
6490Like him not!--And what reason have I to like him, I trow?
6490Marked you the hour, my Lord Constable?
6490May I ask the cause( if it be known) of such visitation?
6490May I request of your nobleness,said the Constable,"that you will permit me to ask the unhappy man a few questions?"
6490May he not be a lazy hound, yet not a Flemish one, father?
6490May not my bower- maiden, Rose Flammock, or my tire- woman, Dame Gillian, Raoul''s wife, remain in the apartment with me for this night?
6490Methought but now it pleased not your dainty palate?
6490Much need she has for some one to support her,said Gillian;"and so have I for that matter, for what can poor old rusty Raoul do?"
6490Nevertheless, son Wilkin,said Aldrovand,"thou must keep thy word, or pay the forfeit; for what saith the text?
6490Nevertheless,said Eveline, seeing how the eyes of the rest turned on Genvil,"you do not-- cannot-- will not-- refuse to follow me?
6490Not till you have broken your fast, I trust?
6490Once more, where is Peterkin Vorst, who should have kept this post?
6490Only two men to each baggage- wain? 6490 Pilgrims,"said the man, after looking at them with some attention,"which of you is called Philip Guarine?"
6490Priest,he said,"hast thou read that accursed scroll fairly?
6490Right, Master Wilkin Flammock,answered the father;"but, good Fleming, wilt thou tell me what answer thou wilt make to the Welsh Prince''s summons?"
6490Roschen-- my child-- what grieves thee?
6490Shall I not,she said,"go to render my thanks to my deliverer, since he can not come hither to receive them?
6490Speak, sirrah, does my kinsman live?
6490Speak,she said,"my dearest lady,"grasping Eveline''s hand, while she addressed her;"you will not drive your Rose from you?
6490Surely,she said--"surely these violences of which you speak are not to be dreaded by those who live under the banner of De Lacy and of Berenger?"
6490That,she said,"was the note of a De Lacy-- surely you can not be my gentle kinsman, Sir Damian?"
6490The Queen, I suppose?
6490The lazy hounds, why tarry they?
6490Then how, in Heaven''s name, comes he by such perfect knowledge of her motions, as he has displayed no longer since than the morning?
6490Then my vow-- my fatal vow, as I had well nigh called it?
6490Then, death of thy heart, slave,said Damian, impatiently,"why hang these fetters on the free limbs of a Norman noble?
6490This is all frenzy,said the monk--"Who trusts avowed traitors?
6490Thou art right, thou art right, good fellow,said the Constable, hastily;"it is vengeance now alone which is left us-- And yet upon whom?"
6490Thou hast asked what I can hardly grant, my friend,answered De Lacy--"Thou art a minstrel, art thou not?"
6490Thou suspicious churl, darest thou doubt my word?
6490Thou wilt be ready, then, to deliver the castle?
6490Three years come Saint Clement''s day,said Eveline;"and what of that?"
6490To remove, my dearest father, from the land where your thrift and industry have gained you an honourable competency?
6490To the point, Fleming,said Jorworth--"What wouldst thou have of me?"
6490To what purpose this delay?
6490True; but is it wise for my lady?
6490Warder,said Damian de Lacy, in a stern tone,"am I yet thy prisoner, or no?"
6490Well said, Master Counsel- keeper,replied Genvil, laughing;"but that will hardly pass on an old trooper.--Saint and angels, quotha?
6490Well, say I were content to trust you thus far, why not return my cattle, which are in your own hands, and at your disposal? 6490 What dost thou mean by remaining here for ever?"
6490What dost thou think of these things, my wise maiden and monitress?
6490What is your pleasure, damsel?
6490What is your will,he said,"Master Flammock?
6490What means all this?
6490What means this prate?
6490What means this strange passion, Sir Knight?
6490What means this, Genvil?
6490What means this, Rose?
6490What means this?
6490What skills it talking of it, father?
6490What think''st thou of being dubbed knight, as thy valour well deserves, and left as Chattelain of the Garde Doloureuse?
6490What unhappy case is this?
6490What will be your reply?
6490What!--Wilkin Flammock the stout Netherlander?
6490What!--to Damian, his nephew?
6490What-- where?
6490What?
6490When you heard of my danger?
6490Where is Father Einion?
6490Which way lie the enemy?
6490Who dares say so?
6490Who dares to say so?
6490Who is that person?
6490Who talks of lack of provender?--who speaks of surrender now?
6490Why do you not mount your horse and display the banner? 6490 Why not rather to his own camp, or to Malpas?"
6490Why, between the barriers and the inner gate,replied Gillian,"where other men are admitted that have wares to utter-- Where should he be?"
6490Will not our noble deliverer in person honour with his presence the poor dwelling which he has saved?
6490Wouldst thou make sport with my misery?
6490Ye be of Damian de Lacy''s company, be ye not?
6490You are Wilkin Mammock, who fought well against the Welsh at the Garde Doloureuse?
6490You believe that you understand me,said Wilkin;"but here lies the difficulty,--which of us shall trust the other?"
6490Your pleasure will be, doubtless, to decline the present hospitality?
6490Your sleep, then, has been broken?
6490Your young mistress is that lady in the mourning mantle,said the merchant,"who so nearly sunk down upon the body just now?"
6490--At this moment a horn was heard before the gate.--"Look to the portcullis and the gate, ye knaves!--What news, Neil Hansen?"
6490And am I bound to we d any ruffling blade among them, because he fought when the trumpet sounded?
6490And he came to thy chamber, doubtless, because he could not have as easily come hither to me himself.--Was it not so, sweetheart?"
6490And what though thou delayest to render up thy treasures, are not all pleasures most sweet, when enhanced by expectation?
6490And-- yes!--thou shalt know all!--Thou art not, I presume, ignorant of the qualities of what the Saxons of this land call a_ Bahrgeist_?"
6490Berwine paused here, and, pointing to Rose, demanded of Eveline,"Why does she follow?"
6490But I would first know of your grace to what terms you will admit the defenders of yonder garrison?"
6490But are the insurgents then so insolent and so powerful?
6490But first, Rose, answer me truly, was any inmate of Baldringham witness to my distress last night?"
6490But indeed, after all, what signifies any promise over a wine flagon?"
6490But it is thy lot, and wherefore should I wonder or repine?
6490But what, Philip Guarine, have we to expect as an explanation of the devastation which we have traversed?"
6490But what, in the name of Heaven, did you see at this horrible rendezvous?"
6490But wherefore didst thou not let me into the secret from the beginning?
6490But wherefore shouldst thou doubt her, Roschen?"
6490But, at present, what can withstand your wish should you deign to express it?"
6490But, dame, I warrant me this Damian and Eveline, as you call them, became better, closer friends, in time?"
6490But, prithee, canst thou say why his pageship leads us not forward yet?"
6490CHAPTER THE TWENTY- NINTH Out on ye, owls; Nothing but songs of death?
6490Dost thou call thyself a minstrel, and hast no tale of female fidelity?"
6490Dost thou not mean to keep thy promise?"
6490Dost thou remember the bull- fight we saw in Spain?
6490Dost thou understand the use of a weapon?"
6490Doth it not concern the stream when the fountain is troubled?
6490Gwenwyn demanded of him eagerly,"What news from Garde Doloureuse, Jorworth ap Jevan?"
6490Hath not the cuckoo a harsh note, and yet she tells us of green buds and springing flowers?
6490Have I not slain the Constable of Chester?"
6490Have we not eyes to see, and have we not a mouth and a tongue?"
6490Have we not said we will be gracious to yonder offenders, as far as our royal duty will permit?"
6490Have you forgotten the confidence in Heaven which you are wo nt to recommend, that you bear other arms than your order assigns to you?"
6490How many times has Vidal shown his faith in doubt-- his address in difficulty- his courage in battle- his patience under suffering?"
6490I so meant it-- he so understood it; and what avails keeping my word in the letter, if I break it in the sense?
6490I spoke in answer, when I had far better been silent; for what availed my idle boast, but as a fetter to bind me to a deed next to madness?
6490If you do not pleasure me in something beforehand, what can I expect of you afterwards?"
6490Is De Lacy sunk so low, that his dishonour shall be told by a common strolling minstrel, as calmly as if it were a theme for a vain ballad?
6490Know you not that in these days the young and old consort together-- contract together-- wed together?
6490Margery?"
6490My uncle heard such a report, and believed it?"
6490Shall I bring perjury upon my soul?
6490She is married to Damian de Lacy-- to my nephew?"
6490Still mute-- still silent?--answer me by word or sign-- Do you really call and acknowledge him as your leader?"
6490The baron to the miller said,''Good friend, for charity, Tell a poor pilgrim, in your land, what tidings may there be?''
6490The date of her old alliance was out, why not enter into a new engagement?"
6490These I propose to leave behind; and I think they will obey him more readily than any but thyself-- how think''st thou?
6490They do correspond; that, at least, thou canst not deny?"
6490Thou hadst nigh had me down in that last turn, but that I knew the old De Lacy''s back- trip as well as thou.--But wherefore kneel, man?"
6490We are like to have need for all that we can do.--Saw you aught of these rascaille Welsh?--have they Gwenwyn''s banner amongst them?"
6490We speak-- unless we err-- to the noble Damian of Lacy?"
6490What if thy language be that of the stoled priest, is it not the same which binds hearts and hands together at the altar?
6490What is thy name and country?
6490What next?"
6490What say you, gentlemen, to the proposal?
6490What signifies the palfrey, when we have not enough to get food either for the brute or ourselves?
6490What think you of ale, an invigorating, strengthening liquor, that warms the heart without inflaming the brain?"
6490What will it avail you to put us to the toil and trouble of a long siege, when you can hope no rescue?"
6490When did the Welshmen wait to hear the clangour of their trumpets, or the rustling of their silken banners?
6490When shall it be otherwise?"
6490Where are Flammock and his daughter?"
6490Where dwell they?--What has been their lot amidst these changes?"
6490Where lives the man who dare aught of violence against the house which harbours Damian de Lacy?"
6490Wherefore not?
6490Who asks of the noonday sun, in what quarter of the world he was born?
6490Who gives you right to propose or dispose in the case, until my pleasure is known?"
6490Who in England will deem himself obliged to press forward, when Hugo de Lacy falls back?
6490Why led he us not thither in the morning when we were commanded off into the mountains?"
6490Why row against wind and tide, when you may as easily take advantage of the breeze?"
6490Why should their approach be so near, and why, yet, should they never meet?
6490Why, say the men- at- arms, should these two observe such constant, yet such guarded intelligence with one another?
6490Will a bezant be a conformable price for the cast?"
6490Your hand remains In my grasp, but it acknowledges not my pressure-- Can it be that it refuses to ratify what your lips have said?"
6490Your lordship''s answer to my citation?"
6490_ Quis habitabit in tabernaculo, quis requiescet in monte sancta?_-- Who shall ascend to the tabernacle, and dwell in the holy mountain?
6490_"Deus vobiscum,"_ said the paritor;"I would know which of this fair company is the Constable of Chester?"
6490and art thou come on such errand alone?"
6490and should we take more care to make our apparel consistent than our actions?"
6490and the great house of Lacy?"
6490and what occasions all this confusion?"
6490and where is the sentinel,--the lazy Flemish hound, that should have kept the post?"
6490and who shall ask of such charms as hers, to what country they owe their birth?"
6490answered Jorworth,"thinkest thou the Prince of Powys has as many money- bags, as the merchants of thy land of sale and barter?
6490answered the Fleming--"do I know how long I may call that, or any house upon earth, my own?
6490cried the monk, starting;"I trust in the saints the provisions have been cared for?"
6490dare you mention composition and the castle of the Garde Doloureuse in one sentence?"
6490demanded the Constable--"a prank of Randal''s?--What motive had he that these two should meet?"
6490do you mutiny?"
6490dost thou trifle with me?"
6490fair and young-, and faithful too?
6490fir?
6490ha?--Dolt that thou art, wilt thou not understand me?
6490have I touched you now?"
6490or what are your commands, since it is my lord''s pleasure that they shall be laws to me for a time?"
6490repeated Ermengarde, angrily;"is thy household thus made up?
6490replied Gillian;"and are not two fools enough for wonderment, that you must come with your grave pate to make up the number three?"
6490replied the Archbishop solemnly.--"About what period did this blessed change take place?"
6490replied the Constable--"Here, meanest thou?--In this city of Gloucester?"
6490said Dennis,"what may you mean, Sir Knight?--not that we should fight with the Welsh before the Constable joins us?"
6490said Eveline, colouring extremely;"and to whom, maiden, did you dare give commission to break into my sleeping chamber?"
6490said Eveline;"thank God, you are restored to me!--But what mean these bursts of weeping?"
6490said Raoul,"what means thy screaming worse than the seagull before wet weather?
6490said Raymond;"you do not propose to leave the castle?
6490said Wilkin Flammock,--"where be they?"
6490said the Constable,"what do you ask of me?
6490said the Fleming,"is it possible I could ever think of involving your reverence in a little matter of deceit?
6490said the Fleming.--"Hum-- ha-- is your ale mighty, Sir Butler?--is it double ale?"
6490said the King, angrily,"is it for such as thou to dictate to our judgment or clemency in the case of a noble Norman Lady?
6490said the Lady of Baldringham;"you will not, I hope, do my years and our relationship such foul disgrace?"
6490said the Prelate;"when was it that jugglers and minstrels pressed into the company of such as we without permission?"
6490said the Welsh envoy, looking towards the men- at- arms, as they seemed, by whom Flammock was attended;"are you really come to this pass?
6490said the monk;"how came you here, and thus armed?
6490said the old lady, fiercely;"who brings them hither, and for what purpose?"
6490she said to Rose;"what has been doing among you?"
6490they were altogether without garments?
6490wains?--how many wains have you brought with you?"
6490what would you with him?"
2762''And what of you, Masouda?'' 2762 ''And whither shall I go?''
2762''Are you, then, weary of life?'' 2762 ''But Wulf?
2762''Of me? 2762 A dream?
2762A messenger from heaven, said you, king? 2762 A mule?"
2762A night''s lodging in my uncle''s house?
2762A slave to whom?
2762Am I not your confessor, with a right to hear?
2762Am I to fight one against two? 2762 An angel''s?
2762And Rosamund? 2762 And does she love you both?"
2762And how will you return?
2762And how would they greet me there, Wulf, who am a Norman D''Arcy and a Christian maid?
2762And if one of us is dead?
2762And if they overcome us,asked Godwin,"then the Sultan would be slain?"
2762And my life?
2762And now you are safe in England, do you purpose to return to Damascus with the answer, and, if so, why?
2762And then?
2762And what did they say to you?
2762And what is your payment,she asked,"who are a merchant knight?"
2762And what of Godwin, my brother?
2762And what would you with us, O Queen? 2762 And where is Masouda, who has sat by me all these days?"
2762And where would the lady Rosamund be?
2762And why has she bidden him?
2762And you, Godwin?
2762And you, Masouda,said Godwin, doubtfully;"how will you escape this place?"
2762And you, Masouda?
2762And you, Wulf?
2762And,went on the Master,"were you not officers of the Sultan''s bodyguard?"
2762Answer? 2762 Are then you a spy also, as the porter called you?"
2762Are these dead or sleeping?
2762Are these knights spies?
2762Are they drunk?
2762Are those the mountains near Antioch?
2762Are you a Christian then?
2762Are you deaf and blind?
2762Are you hurt?
2762Are you mad?
2762Are you master here, traitor, or am I?
2762Ay, but what knight''s? 2762 Ay,"said Godwin,"but where is Masouda, and what will happen to her who has dared to venture such a plot as this?
2762But did this man tell you further whether that lady has chanced to come to Palestine?
2762But how shall we know that they are not Mameluks?
2762By the sword of the children of the enemy, fighting in the war of Heaven?
2762Can not Masouda save herself, as she told her uncle, the Arab, she would do? 2762 Can not Sir Hugh Lozelle see to it?"
2762Can not you see that yonder fiend is in love with Rosamund, and means to take her, as he well may do?
2762Cedars of Lebanon?
2762Charged? 2762 Did I not give you and your brother to drink?"
2762Did I not swear that it should be so, beauteous Rosamund, after your saintly cousin worsted me in the fray?
2762Did I not tell you that you would find her sleeping?
2762Did he, sir? 2762 Did he, then, take the knight Lozelle prisoner?"
2762Did you not say she loved you? 2762 Did you pay him, then, lady?"
2762Did you sleep well, Godwin?
2762Do I still dream, my brother, or is it you indeed?
2762Do they mean to camp here?
2762Do you grieve now that you laid down your lives to save those of all Jerusalem?
2762Do you mean the lord-- who kills?
2762Do you mean to betray us?
2762Do you not accompany us, who are of the faith?
2762Do you note their words, prince Hassan?
2762Do you remember the old Arab who brought you the horses Flame and Smoke, and took no payment for them, he who was named Son of the Sand? 2762 Do you still remember Sinan and his fedais?
2762Do you still wish to visit the Sheik Al- je- bal?
2762Do you wish that I should knight you afresh?
2762Do you, then, return to England, brother?
2762Does the lady Rosamund know?
2762Does this council, then, propose to hand over a Christian lady to the Saracens against her will?
2762Dreams? 2762 Emesa?"
2762Fighting for a woman''s love who should have fallen in the Holy War? 2762 Fighting for the Cross of Christ?"
2762Fighting for the Cross of Christ?
2762For what sum each day will you give us board and a good room to sleep in?
2762Give her up,answered Godwin,"and go our ways dishonoured?
2762Going to visit Al- je- bal? 2762 Gone where?"
2762Gone?
2762Has Salah- ed- din servants such as these?
2762Has he bought all that stuff?
2762Has not Salah- ed- din passed his word that except her own will or that of Allah should change her heart, a Cross- worshipper she may live and die? 2762 Has yonder fox snared both of us?"
2762Have we eyes that can pierce veils and woollen garments?
2762Have you been on them?
2762Have you seen your cousin, the princess?
2762He called her''the woman with the secret face and eyes that have looked on fear,''did n''t he? 2762 How better could he die,"asked Godwin,"than fighting for the Cross of Christ?
2762How can I answer since you yourself forbid me?
2762How can she be saved when the stormers are drunk with slaughter, and she but one disguised woman among ten thousand others?
2762How can they come, the door being barred?
2762How did Masouda come and go?
2762How did you come?
2762How died this child of God?
2762How do you know that, Sir Godwin?
2762How does the lord Sinan know all things?
2762How is that lord named?
2762How is that, lady, seeing that you are said to be the niece of Salah- ed- din? 2762 How knew she that I should escape?"
2762How knew you of this?
2762How knew you that?
2762I am wondering, Sir Peter and Sir John, why you think it worth while to tell lies to a poor widow? 2762 I did not think that Franks could fight so well; Say, Sir Knight, will you feast with me in my palace?"
2762I thank you,replied Wulf simply;"but, in this hour of torment, who can think of such things as honour gained?"
2762I thought that palmers always went afoot?
2762I wonder,mused Godwin,"whether I shall ever lead her from the altar to the Hall, or whether-- I shall bide alone by the altar?"
2762I, lady? 2762 I?
2762I? 2762 I?
2762I?
2762If so, how died he?
2762In whose name do you bid me yield?
2762Is Rosamund unclean that you would be avenged upon her? 2762 Is Sir Hugh Lozelle here then?"
2762Is all this true, Sir Godwin?
2762Is it given to you to read the future and the decrees of God?
2762Is it the end?
2762Is it there that you mean to murder me, traitor and wizard?
2762Is not a Christian knight fit mate for the blood of an Eastern chief? 2762 Is that so sure?"
2762Is that true, think you?
2762Is there then war between the Sultan and Sinan?
2762Is this a time for scruples about altars? 2762 Is this the soul of my son?"
2762It encircles the inner city, the fortress, and its grounds,said Masouda;"and who lives to- day that could throw a bridge across it?
2762It is brave of you to go,said Rosamund, then added by an afterthought,"How long is it since we left Marseilles?"
2762It is of our cousin Rosamund, is it not?
2762Jest?
2762Let him learn it-- when we reach his court,answered Lozelle, with meaning; then added,"Have you aught else to say to me, prince Hassan?
2762Let us at least be thankful that we are caged together-- for how long, I wonder?
2762Man,Sinan said in a low voice,"what have you done?
2762May I ask help with these packages?
2762Must he then put the woman from him?
2762My lord, Strong- to- Aid,said Rosamund,"do you, who are so brave, blame yonder knights and soldiers because they fought on against desperate odds?
2762My lord, my lord,answered Lozelle,"who can lay a lance on that terrible place in moonlight?
2762My pleasure? 2762 Nay, uncle, how can I tell, seeing that his face was masked like the rest and he spoke through an interpreter?
2762No, in truth, how can you, who have been senseless this month or more? 2762 Noble knights,"he said,"what am I to do?
2762Nothing to win?
2762Now which do you think would please a woman most?
2762Now, my cousins, what will you do?
2762Now, my uncle, what does this mean?
2762Now,said Wulf, halting,"tell me what does all this mean?"
2762Of loving the lady Rosamund, as do all men-- perhaps yourself, old and withered as you are, among them?
2762Of what are you thinking?
2762Of what, then, am I accused?
2762Of whom, O Queen?
2762Oh, how many years have I waited for you? 2762 Oh, those dead soldiers-- what do they portend?"
2762Oh, what can we do now, save die for very shame?
2762Or with Wulf?
2762Other-- where? 2762 Our journey?"
2762Our land is far away, O lord, and where shall we find this long- lost ring? 2762 Peace?
2762Petros, do you understand? 2762 Prince Hassan,"said Rosamund,"is this a deed that great Saladin would wish, to burn drugged men beneath their own roof?
2762Report has been made to me of that story,said the voice;"but what sign do these Franks show?
2762Rosamund?
2762Say, Peter, are you minded to take a companion for this ride?
2762Say, are you hurt?
2762Say, maiden, what ransom do you bring to buy this multitude from doom? 2762 Seek her heart, and perchance-- though this I doubt-- let her yield it to me, she thinking that you care naught for her?"
2762Shall I answer?
2762Shall the sacrifice of blood be offered in vain? 2762 Shall we fight?"
2762She is under ward then?
2762Sir Abbot, which will you taste first-- the red wine or the yellow? 2762 Sir Godwin,"he said sternly,"seeing how you have dealt by me, what brings you back into my camp?
2762Sire, have you seen her?
2762Sirs, will you commit so great a crime? 2762 Sometimes,"said Masouda reflectively,"sometimes I have watched the lady Rosamund, and said to myself,''What do you lack?
2762Surely,answered Godwin,"but where is the companion?"
2762Tell me, prince,she said,"who rules upon this vessel?"
2762Tell me,asked Godwin,"how long is it since I left you?"
2762Tell me,he said,"what of the princess of Baalbec, whom you know as the lady Rosamund D''Arcy?
2762Tell me,said Rosamund, changing her tone,"what is that boat rowing round the river''s mouth?
2762That for the third time you may plot their escape from my vengeance?
2762That she should fall into the hands of Salah- ed- din, or back into those of the master of the Assassins? 2762 The devil?
2762The knight Lozelle?
2762The maid should copy her mistress,answered Masouda with a hard laugh;"but, lady, why do you weep?
2762Then I promised and asked,''What of Masouda?'' 2762 Then is neither of us more to you than the other?"
2762Then the fate of the holy city and all its inhabitants hangs upon the nobleness of a single woman?
2762Then you are not of the Assassins, Masouda?
2762Then, Wulf,answered Godwin slowly,"what more is there to say?
2762Then, dog, why did you try to run away when you saw our faces?
2762Then, knights,he said presently,"tell me, which of you does she love best?"
2762Then, when it is accomplished, shall I be free?
2762They buy, but can they ride?
2762To all three of us?
2762To wake the palmer?
2762Touching these Franks, what is your will?
2762Until the dream be accomplished?
2762Very well; but what is Abdullah''s price?
2762Wait to speak of the fortune until you have done with her, Sir-- is it Peter, or John?
2762Was he a big, red- faced man, with a scar upon his forehead, who always wore a black cloak over his mail?
2762Was this master a Saracen?
2762We have our lives,he said,"but how shall we save her?
2762Well,said Godwin eagerly,"is all ready?"
2762Were I not a Christian would I visit this foggy land of yours to trade in wine-- a liquor forbidden to the Moslems?
2762Were he dishonest would he not have stolen those jewels?
2762What are these?
2762What awful words are those my brother?
2762What can this mean?
2762What can we give you, O Queen,asked the abbess,"who have nothing left save our treasure, to which you are most welcome, our honour, and our lives?"
2762What do you hear, my niece?
2762What do you here, Godwin?
2762What do you know of Masouda, your niece? 2762 What do you seek, holy palmer?"
2762What do you want?
2762What does this man with the torch?
2762What else but go with you, whom we have come so far to seek?
2762What has Heaven to do with him, if he fought not for Heaven?
2762What has chanced?
2762What help, and why?
2762What high- born lady would take such terms?
2762What if they do not come?
2762What is it now, my nephews?
2762What is it?
2762What is that to you, my Uncle, Son of the Sand?
2762What is that to you?
2762What is that to your Holiness?
2762What is that you said? 2762 What is that?"
2762What is that?
2762What is there for you to fear in a nine- mile ride along the shores of the Blackwater?
2762What is your name, palmer, and whence is this box?
2762What is your name?
2762What of it, Sir Saracen?
2762What of our lady Rosamund?
2762What of the attack on the quay?
2762What of the dead men?
2762What of the vengeance of Salah- ed- din?
2762What penance must I bear, father?
2762What say you?
2762What seek you now?
2762What shall we do, Mother?
2762What shall we do?
2762What then?
2762What then?
2762What things? 2762 What was the writing?"
2762What, noble sir,he exclaimed,"do you know my land of Cyprus?
2762What, then, are in question, Wulf?
2762What, then, is your part in this matter?
2762What, then, is your plan, Wulf?
2762What, then, will avail, Masouda?
2762What, then, would you have me do?
2762What, you still stare at me and doubt? 2762 What,"he laughed,"do they still sleep?
2762What? 2762 What?"
2762What?
2762Whatever chances? 2762 Whence come you?"
2762Whence that ring?
2762Where am I?
2762Where have you been?
2762Where is the evidence against us?
2762Where is the security that you will not do it if we are satisfied?
2762Where shall we go?
2762Which is best?
2762Which of us, then, is to die, and which to go free?
2762Which-- oh, which?
2762Which?
2762Whither go you, friends Peter and John, and so early?
2762Who are you, and what is your pleasure?
2762Who can tell when a strange woman leads?
2762Who is he?
2762Who knows that we may find another chance? 2762 Who stand yonder at the end of the cave-- there by the dead men?"
2762Who taught your lips to say such words, O Sultan?
2762Who was the man who brought them to us?
2762Why did I take you into my inn yonder in Beirut when you were the pilgrims Peter and John? 2762 Why do you call me''lady,''Sir Godwin D''Arcy, who am but an inn- keeper, for whom sometimes men find hard names?
2762Why do you weep?
2762Why does that beautiful dark- eyed woman befriend you?
2762Why not?
2762Why not?
2762Why not?
2762Why should I grant them now that they are conquered?
2762Why should I hide the truth? 2762 Why should I not, who have nothing to hide?"
2762Why should I spare what I have already conquered, and what I have sworn to destroy?
2762Why should he be merciful, my son, since they have refused his terms and defied him? 2762 Why should he be merciful,"answered Rosamund,"who has always warned me that if I escaped from him and was recaptured, certainly I must die?
2762Why should not Godwin have a heart?
2762Why should you bear it?
2762Why so?
2762Why, Sir Godwin?
2762Why, then, did you not tell me?
2762Why? 2762 Why?
2762Why? 2762 Why?"
2762Will it fall?
2762Will not Saladin be merciful?
2762Would you sleep already, Wulf, and the sun not yet down?
2762Would you wish to hear?
2762Would you wish to see her?
2762Would you wish to visit the governor at the castle, where there are a few English knights, also some priests who give advice to pilgrims?
2762Yes, but to what judgment?
2762You are ready to die with her, although you are young and strong, and there are so many other women in the world?
2762You hear what he says, the silly fellow?
2762You here, Sir Hugh?
2762You here?
2762You swear that?
2762You warned us against Saladin also,said Godwin,"so what is left to us if we may dare a visit to neither?"
2762You, the patriarch of this sacred city, would tear me from the sanctuary of its holiest altar? 2762 Your report?"
2762''Dogs, what is it to you which road the Signet takes?''
2762--he pointed to where Smoke and Flame lay with glazing eyes--"to have unhorsed Saladin and to have slain this prince in single combat?"
2762A symbol?
2762After all, is it so very hard to choose between death and duty?"
2762Again the voice asked:"Did it die shriven of its sins?"
2762Also, where is the Frankish spy?"
2762Also-- and was this dream indeed, or even as they sped over that horrible pit did he feel a woman''s lips pressed upon his cheek?
2762Although Rosamund did not look convinced, he went on:"Now for Godwin''s thoughts-- what were they?"
2762Am I, who have done you so much service, to be butchered for your pleasure by the lovers of that woman, whom you would honour with the name of wife?"
2762And has he not returned thither to take her away?"
2762And if he found her not, what then?
2762And if he found her, what then?
2762And if so, from whom comes the message?"
2762And now must the shadow of a woman fall upon and blight that love which is so fair and precious?"
2762And when it comes, brother, shall we not be there to share it, as were our grandfather, our father, our uncle, and so many of our kin?
2762And would you die for me?
2762And you, Sir Knight, what say you of the black stuff--''Mavro,''we call it-- not the common, but that which has been twenty years in cask?"
2762Are all here drunken?
2762Are not these glittering garments to hang about a woman''s shape?
2762Are these knights, then, the nephews of Salah- ed- din?"
2762Are you sure, Godwin, that this poor face will be an angel''s?"
2762As chance has brought us together-- if it be chance-- will you aid us in this, as I think you can, or must we seek other help?"
2762As they prepared to go with them, Rosamund asked:"Tell me of your grace, what of Masouda, my friend?"
2762Both of you?"
2762But counsel me-- what shall I do now?"
2762But how did you chance to hear of them, O widowed hostess of a Syrian inn?"
2762But tell us, Sultan, what shall we do?
2762But to God?
2762But what do you think of that wine, holy Abbot?"
2762But what is the price of them?"
2762But what is the use of telling her till the time comes?
2762But what is this wonderful question which may not be answered?"
2762But what of the prince Hassan?"
2762But what value would she put upon the gift?
2762But whither were they to go without Rosamund?
2762But why should I, who am but a merchant, thrust myself upon your noble company?
2762But why would you go to Al- je- bal?"
2762But you?
2762But, lady, do you know it?
2762But, lady, why do you look at us so strangely?"
2762By whom?"
2762Can you complain who, both of you, have refused to take her as a wife?"
2762Can you hold your own awhile against eight men, think you?"
2762Can you leave her at such a time?"
2762Can you pay as much?"
2762Could he do this for the sake of the welfare of his soul in some future state?
2762Could that be needful or of service to God or man?
2762Dare we disobey his message?"
2762Dead, or only dying?
2762Did ever horses gallop so fast?
2762Did the grey horse swim the creek, and how came we here?
2762Do we march against Saladin like bold, Christian men, or do we bide here like cowards?"
2762Do you accept them as interpreters?
2762Do you brethren wish to do Salah- ed- din a service?"
2762Do you consent?"
2762Do you dare to give her back to them and death, for such will be her doom at the hands of Saladin?
2762Do you desire to meet your brother for the last time?"
2762Do you fight for me or against me?
2762Do you know what was in his mind?
2762Do you mean place, or wealth, or-- love?"
2762Do you not know the custom?
2762Do you remember me?"
2762Do you understand?"
2762Do you wonder that I am still so wroth, believing as I do that a great occasion has been taken from me?"
2762Does it please you?"
2762Dreams of what?"
2762Even in the cool, darkened room she noticed it, and said, bitterly enough:"What does it matter?
2762Fear remained also-- for what of Masouda?
2762For a moment Rosamund turned pale, then spoke in a steady voice:"Say, what service can my poor life be to you, O Queen, and by whom is it sought?"
2762From love of Godwin then?
2762Go back to England to live there upon his lands, and wait until old age and death overtook him?
2762Had Rosamund told Masouda this?
2762Have I not said it is my business to know?
2762Have I your leave to bring in the chest, and if so, will one of your servants help me, for it is heavy?"
2762Have you no eyes to see that he is enamoured of her loveliness-- like others?
2762Have you seen her while I slept, which has been long?"
2762Have you some secret wound?"
2762He agreed with me through that dead spy that they should be slain, and do you not know that if I give no orders in such a case I mean death, not life?
2762He looked up, and seeing the bishop, asked peevishly:"What is it now?
2762He paused awhile, then looked up and said,"Girl, do you know what Saladin has made of you?
2762He took the jewel, then turned to Saladin and said, pointing to the dead body of Hassan:"Have I your peace, Sultan, after such a deed?"
2762Heard you not what my kinsman called to me?
2762Heaven?
2762How came they to know that you and Rosamund were riding that day to St. Peter''s- on- the- Wall, and so were able to waylay you?
2762How could two men hope to snatch her from the heart of such a host and to spirit her out of Damascus and through its encircling armies?
2762How did those horses keep their footing?
2762How do you know that he will befriend you-- how that he will not enslave or kill you?
2762How know you?
2762How long would it be, they wondered, before they also were bidden to walk that gulf?
2762How many Saracens have you slain?
2762How shall such a one find mercy?"
2762How should he deal with her?
2762How strange also that you should have come on hither against her counsel, which, seeing what we have, I think was honest?"
2762I know not, and do you know yourself?
2762I wonder why?
2762If he should not come back into it, what would her life be?
2762In which chamber are your garments?"
2762Instantly guards thrust themselves between them, and Sinan asked through Masouda:"Why do you dare to strike this Frank in my presence?"
2762Is he the better man?"
2762Is it indeed you?
2762Is it so?"
2762Is it the work of traitors to have charged alone through all this host until our horses died beneath us?"
2762Is it thus that you keep faith with me?"
2762Is it to be borne that I must associate with my father''s murderer?"
2762Is it your will that we should make such a pact?"
2762Is it your wish that they should accompany you?"
2762Is not that death of his at Harenc told of to this day?
2762Is she with you?"
2762Is that a crime, in one who is not poor, who, moreover, was knighted for his deeds by no mean hand?
2762Is there any place where I may sleep?
2762Is this a dream, or is it a message?
2762Is this a time to listen to the prayers of a girl or to threats of a single knight, or the doubts of a superstitious captain?
2762Is this fit work for pilgrims?"
2762Is this your chivalry?"
2762Is your answer ready, Sir Andrew?"
2762It is cheap, quiet and comfortable-- things which I heard you say you required just now, did I not?"
2762It was Rosamund''s; and she said:"Why is there such silence, father?
2762Jest?
2762Make friends with the spider?"
2762May we bid farewell to our cousin Rosamund before we ride?"
2762Must he we d her, and did he wish this?
2762My own guard kill me?"
2762Noble knight, have I your leave to draw?"
2762Now Saladin looked at Rosamund and asked,"Woman, why have you come here to brave my vengeance?
2762Now Wulf came back, saying heavily:"I forgot the thing-- who would not at such a time?
2762Now one murmured,"She has taken sanctuary,"but the patriarch said:"Tell us, daughter, does she pray alone?"
2762Now she stared at him with wide, wondering eyes, and replied:"He is so called also; but, Sir Pilgrims, what know you of the dread lord Al- je- bal?"
2762Now what plan have you?
2762Now what was this vision?
2762Now which of them would you choose?"
2762Now, Princess, are you satisfied?"
2762Now, Sir Knights, answer me one more question--""Sir Templar, with my tongue or with my sword?"
2762Now, Sir Wulf, can you walk?
2762Now, brother, what is to be done?
2762Now, why do I tell you this?
2762Now, you are the officers of the bodyguard who watch in the ante- chamber to- night, are you not?
2762Of what, he wondered-- of what?
2762Oh, God, my pleasure?"
2762Oh, then indeed I kiss your hands, and surely you will not affront me by refusing this little present?
2762One asked:"Has this soul sinned?"
2762Only Wulf said in a loud voice, in English:"Tell us, Rosamund, is it well with you?"
2762Or their arms may grow weary, or themselves they may fall before ever they reach this house-- and what, my daughters, shall we do then?"
2762Or will you die?"
2762Or will you give up your swords and bide here as my prisoners?"
2762Presently Saladin entered, and, looking at him curiously, said:"Are you still of the same mind, Sir Godwin?"
2762Priest, where is the lady Rosamund?"
2762Return to the camp with Sir Balian?"
2762Rosamund looked at them and smiled, then said in a clear voice:"What say you, my cousin and betrothed, Sir Wulf D''Arcy?
2762Rosamund looked at them awhile, then answered:"To whom were you sworn the first?
2762Rosamund''s face paled, but she answered proudly:"Why should I fear what my brethren do not fear?
2762Say, Franks, are you prepared to drink the dregs of that cup I promised you?"
2762Say, are you hurt?"
2762Say, is it you, Masouda?"
2762Say, will you go and queen it there?"
2762See you, my brother, have ever brethren loved each other as we do?
2762She left you my father''s sword, Wulf?
2762She left you the cross, Godwin?
2762She listened with an impassive face, and answered:"Doubtless you have heard that one of us who was so named was burned here recently as a witch?"
2762She looked at him wonderingly, and asked,"Are these the words of a wooer or of a saint in wooer''s weeds?
2762She noted it and smiled at the sad omen, then said:"Ladies, why should I mock my doom with these bright garments?"
2762She started, and answered:"So you understand Arabic?
2762Should I not have surrendered myself to the wrath of Saladin if the lives of so many hang upon it?
2762Should he abandon hope?
2762Should he fly the battle for fear that he might be defeated?
2762Sir Knights, do you understand my language?"
2762Sir Saracen, does not the memory of that chapman''s trick shame you now?"
2762Sir Wulf, say, are you much hurt?"
2762So Godwin told him all, and at the end asked him,"What think you?"
2762So now war was before them-- war to the end; and who were they that must bear its brunt?
2762So strong was this feeling in him that he halted in his walk, and asked:"Tell me, lord, do I go to my death?"
2762Son of the Sand, my Uncle, what say you?"
2762Surely the place was familiar to him?
2762Sweet lady, knowing where the course is laid, say, do you fear to see this fray?"
2762Tell me now, honestly, why do you do this?"
2762Tell me now, is she aught more to you?"
2762Tell me now, what are you thinking of, you two-- for I have been wondering in my dull way, and am curious to learn how far I stand from truth?
2762Tell me, daughter, which?"
2762Tell me, is she still here, or has she fled?"
2762Tell us, Sir Godwin, were not you and your brother once the Sultan''s guests at Damascus?"
2762That night none slept, for all were athirst, and who can sleep with a burning throat?
2762The abbess started, and asked:"Is she, then, of their accursed faith, as her garb would seem to show?"
2762The eyes of the two women met, and those of Rosamund asked,"Which?"
2762The jewel was Hassan''s gift to me; who else could give it to Abdullah?"
2762The right of sanctuary?"
2762The yellow from Kyrenia?
2762Then Sir Andrew added,"You say you know nothing of all the business in which you play this part?"
2762Then Wulf looked at him curiously and asked:"What have you seen?"
2762Then he looked up, saying:"And now?"
2762Then he sheathed his sword again and added in a shamed voice,"Are we children that we fight where no foe is?
2762Then she asked:"Why did not you who are free go with him?"
2762Then tell me, as soldiers to a soldier, what do you seek from Salah- ed- din?"
2762To abandon the world and to spend his life muttering prayers like those priests in the darkness behind him?
2762To be brave and upright?
2762To fight for the Cross of Christ against the Saracen?
2762To ride for the coast towns?"
2762To what?"
2762Was he not sent into the world to bear his part in the world-- to live his full life?
2762Was it not to Wulf, Wulf who was handsomer and more strong than he, to Wulf, the conqueror of Lozelle?
2762Was it to the service of our Lord, or to the service of a woman?
2762Well, if Jerusalem were saved, would not tens of thousands of Moslem and Christian lives be saved also?
2762Well, sirs, may I take your orders?
2762Well, what more have you to offer for all this?"
2762Well, what seek ye, Franks?"
2762Were these folk mad that they would put double- laden horses at such a jump?
2762Were they who stood there about to match their strength and courage against all the might of Saladin, doomed to fail or gloriously to succeed?
2762What chance has this lord of yours against a nation sworn to obey to the death?
2762What do you think, Rosamund?"
2762What does it matter to you?"
2762What does your faith teach-- the faith in which I was bred, and lost, but that now is mine again-- because it is yours?
2762What farewells have you to make?
2762What have I to do with jewels?"
2762What have you to gain?
2762What have you to say?"
2762What if some other man--?
2762What is his will with me?"
2762What is it to you, Sir Godwin, why a certain woman- spy of the Assassins, whom in your own land you would spit on, chooses to do this or that?"
2762What is it?"
2762What is my crime against you?
2762What is your pleasure with me?"
2762What lady--?"
2762What more had he to do with his life, which had been so full of sorrow, struggle and bloodshed?
2762What more?
2762What news of Masouda?
2762What of Rosamund?
2762What of Wulf?''
2762What ransom, and what gift?"
2762What said you of my uncle, priest?
2762What say you to my offer?
2762What shall we do now, brother?"
2762What sort of knights do you think us, then, that you offer us counsel which is fitter for those spies from whom you learn your tidings?
2762What then?"
2762What time had he to tell us of any ring?"
2762What went he forth to seek?
2762What will happen to them?"
2762What, Wulf, does the man sleep already?"
2762When all paths are full of thorns what matter which you tread?"
2762When he had finished Godwin asked of him as he had asked of Wulf:"What think you, holy father?
2762When they reached their room again Godwin asked Wulf:"Why does this man sell us those noble steeds?"
2762Where do you go, Godwin?"
2762Where is it?
2762Where is she?"
2762Where is she?"
2762Where is that sacred ring, with which he parted in his foolishness?"
2762Where, then, is Rosamund?"
2762Who am I that I should stand between a fool and his folly?
2762Who could have been at such a time, with death beneath them?
2762Who else?"
2762Who knows?
2762Who then has such urgent need of the lady Rosamund?"
2762Who would, in such a hurry?"
2762Why did I find you the best horses in Syria and guide you to the Al- je- bal?
2762Why did I often dare death by torment for you there?
2762Why did I save the three of you?
2762Why did you not kill him?
2762Why do you ask it now?"
2762Why do you ask me these riddles?
2762Why do you ask?
2762Why had Masouda done these things, again and again putting her own life upon the hazard to save theirs and the honour of another woman?
2762Why not, since from them you can not need protection?
2762Why not?
2762Why seek her here whom you say has been taken to Salah- ed- din?
2762Why should she not become a knight''s wife?"
2762Why should you fear?
2762Why, what is this?
2762Will Sir Wulf give it?"
2762Will her dead body bring you peace?
2762Will you come with me and speak to him?"
2762Will you dare to tear a maiden from it whose only sin is that she, a Christian, has escaped the Saracens by whom she was stolen?
2762Will you give yourself to me in marriage, Rosamund?"
2762Will you go on?"
2762Will you not take it now?
2762Will you subscribe the Koran and embrace the faith of Islam?
2762Will you take such coward council?
2762Will you take the peace of Salah- ed- din, or force his servants to take your life?"
2762Will you take the princess and her dominions with my love thrown in as a marriage portion?"
2762With the horses?"
2762Would it not be wiser, then, that I should forbid them to ask this riddle?"
2762Would it please either of us, brother, if, as may well chance, he should be some stranger?"
2762Would men take so much pains for a sister''s sake, think you?
2762Would she never wake?
2762Would they ever look on Steeple Hall again?
2762Would they swim into this net of yours for a sister''s sake?"
2762Would you have me die?"
2762Would you not have called them cowards if they had yielded up the city where their Saviour died and struck no blow to save it?
2762Wulf saw his face in the moonlight, and asked:"What ails you, Godwin?
2762Yes, you hinted as much upon the ship, did you not?
2762Yes-- they are not easily forgotten, are they?
2762Yet if this were so, why had Masouda saved Rosamund, the lady to whom she knew well that he was sworn?
2762Yet what had he to fear that night?
2762You do not understand Greek-- only Arabic?
2762You have the soldiers''horses with your own?
2762You say that you would speak with my niece Rosamund?
2762You smile?
2762You would not risk that for me, would you?"
2762You, her fit mate?
2762asked Godwin,"masked like you common cowards?
2762did not Rosamund love Wulf?
2762have I done right?
2762he asked;"and how found you her?"
2762he went on,"as I can not open them here, and to move the casks?
2762is set more on gain than on the sufferings of the blessed Son of Mary,"and he crossed himself,"to form a judgment upon such high matters?
2762know you what this woman did?
2762lady, what must you think of me who seemed to desert you so basely?
2762my daughter, how can we save you, whose own lives are at stake?
2762said the Templar with bitter sarcasm,"you saved Saladin''s life, did you?
2762the two of you?"
2762think me no vain fool, but since it is best perhaps that both should know full surely, tell me, is it as I have sometimes--""Feared?"
2762what is about to chance?
2762what is that?
2762what more is there to say?"
2762what will it serve?"
2762when I think of it I feel as though I loved her-- don''t you?"
2762why should he spare them?
2762you English innocents, do you not know a woman through a camel- hair cloak?"
2762you will not drink?
41549A Frank?
41549A harem? 41549 A vision?"
41549Ah, sweet lord,the pretty maids would cry,"how long will it be, ere you ride back with Peter and Anselm and Hugo?"
41549Aleppo?
41549Am I not utterly in his power?
41549Americ, the leper?
41549An army, an army; where an army, to break the arch- sultan''s might?
41549And I swear to you I have no attempt against any man''s goods, or wife, or life, or honor; and you shall count seventy dirhems?
41549And Mary?
41549And Richard Longsword, whom my soul hates?
41549And Richard?
41549And am I forgiven by you also?
41549And are not seven drops of your blood seven lakes to me?
41549And are the Eastern Christians still persecuted, the pilgrims outraged, the sacred places polluted?
41549And do you think, Cid, that you have led me hither to see me kneel at your feet, to hear me moan for mercy for these men? 41549 And do you think, Richard,"said she, piteously,"that all I love in you is this?"
41549And have I done wrong,declared Richard, pointing from corn- land to castle, and thence to river,"to come so far to possess it?
41549And have you seen her?
41549And have you taken my advice, my Lord Tancred,asked Richard,"and sent messengers to the Duke?"
41549And he is there now?
41549And is Nasr, the abominable devil- visaged Saracen here, a man?
41549And is this embassy clothed with power to deal with our commander?
41549And is this fortress not Jerusalem?
41549And no message for Mary?
41549And no praise for the falcon''s trainer?
41549And see if there be no worse traitors than I? 41549 And shall not the shepherd go with the sheep?"
41549And tell this,demanded she, letting her foot drop to the rugs,"are the faithless sentries warned?"
41549And that forbodes--?
41549And the Star of the Greeks, what says she?
41549And the number of the unbelievers?
41549And the way of escape?
41549And was it so easy to do all this that I never dreamed it? 41549 And we set forth--?"
41549And what are the songs which your poets sing by the Guadalquiver and the Darro?
41549And what has been done against Raoul?
41549And what is there?
41549And what joy?
41549And what may this be?
41549And what was in your heart, Mary,cried the Norman, when he found a steady tongue,"that night when you held the goblet to my lips at Cefalu?"
41549And what was in yours when you drank? 41549 And what was your sin, fair knight?"
41549And when will the execution take place?
41549And where reads Al Koran,retorted Musa,"''Thou shalt possess thyself of thine enemy''s wedded wife''?
41549And where you would scorn to live, I must hold back?
41549And wherefore?
41549And who are you, O Zubair,raged back Yezid, his teeth more catlike than ever,"to dispute my right?
41549And who is this fellow?
41549And who may this commandant be?
41549And who may your husband be?
41549And why do you say''my lord''?
41549And why is not the army moving?
41549And why not all this before?
41549And why not risk it, when I deemed you were worse than dead to me?
41549And why not, sweet lady?
41549And why should I not?
41549And why to Antioch, Cid?
41549And why to Clermont?
41549And will you follow your seigneur, now as ever?
41549And would you not thus have sinned for me?
41549And you and Cid Godfrey?
41549And you are--?
41549And you have been hidden at El Halebah?
41549And you know nothing-- nothing--words spoken with awful intensity--"of a certain Christian lady, his captive?"
41549And you promised--?
41549And you will guard Mary from him?--ever?
41549And you, De Valmont? 41549 And you, Sir Infidel, is your heart with this army and its purpose?
41549And you?
41549And,protested the Spaniard,"I shall send you to Cairo?
41549Another stranger?
41549Are we to be put to death speedily, or long reserved?
41549Are you not my sister?
41549Are you, too, rebels?
41549Assuredly, can the outlaw kite make a nest for the lark? 41549 Assuredly; am I not your slave as much as these women here?
41549Beast, who are you that I should answer? 41549 Below there?"
41549Blind?
41549Brother,one of the peasants had cried,"do you know that from Antioch to Aleppo scarce one house is inhabited?
41549But is not God on our side, father?
41549But tell me this,--are the horses of these three adventurers taken?
41549But were I struck dead as I stand, who would feel a pang? 41549 But what do you love in me?
41549But why did you conceal this so long?
41549But you are not his friend? 41549 But you are without state?"
41549But-- you?
41549By St. George, fair lord,cried the Norman,"where is your own corps?
41549By St. Michael of Antwerp,declared Godfrey,"what do infidels at Clermont?"
41549By St. Ouen,cried he, in a hot Norman oath, pausing in his spring,"what din is that?
41549By St. Theodore, Sir Frank,quoth she, holding out both hands to Richard,"will you say again to my face that you can do nothing brave?"
41549By all the fiends, what devil persuaded you to come into my presence? 41549 By the peacock,"cried Longsword,"and what lucky saint sends you to Sicily, to enter my father''s service once more, if you will?"
41549Can I not see that your bleaunt, though sombre, is of costliest_ cendal_ silk? 41549 Can he be trusted?"
41549Can honey come out of wormwood?
41549Child of Eblees the Devil, have you failed yet again? 41549 Christian?"
41549Cid, is this the manner of Egyptian emirs in keeping truce?
41549Could I leave Tancred the glory and the boast,''I first set eyes on the Holy City''? 41549 Could he not take me forever from Richard Longsword by his mere wish?"
41549Dead?
41549Dear God,he cried softly,"why hast Thou led me here, to show me the place of my sin?
41549Dear Musa,said Mary,"what is it that makes you grow so sad?"
41549Dear Sebastian,cried he once, despairing,"can even the great pilgrimage wipe out my sin?
41549Dear children,said the dying Pope,"have you no word for me before I go?"
41549Dear father, are you not sorry I am so little contrite?
41549Dear father, you do not long for heaven so much that you would leave me?
41549Dear father,said he, wondering,"what happiness has come, that you seem so glad?
41549Dear life,cried he,"do you know what you say?
41549Death? 41549 Did you not promise to bring us home in safety, to lead us back safe and sound to Nicole, and Berta, and Aleïs?
41549Did you speak to me?
41549Do not Christians and Moslems alike believe in Him?
41549Do you believe in a good God?
41549Do you disobey before my face?
41549Do you doubt the vision?
41549Do you forget my wound the day before Dorylæum?
41549Do you know me? 41549 Do you not know, I am like the Arab youth who died fighting at Emesa?"
41549Do you not remember Hossein, who was in the Cæsar Manuel''s palace at Antioch? 41549 Do you not see?
41549Do you remember, Star of the Greeks, the day you gave me this-- when I held the lists against Iftikhar at Palermo? 41549 Do you think I sat smelling inkhorns and tangling silk yarn all day in our palace by the Golden Gate?
41549Do you think to give me joy by risking life at every cross- road to prove your love? 41549 Do you wish more?"
41549Does Musa sleep?
41549Does a woman speak only with her lips? 41549 Drink?"
41549Ere these stars fade in sunlight--spoke a voice( from within or without, what matter?)
41549Ever awake?
41549Fair son,said he, smiling,"has the noble lady, Mary the Greek, less chance of succor if three cavaliers ride to her aid than if only two?"
41549Father, Holy Father, do you not know me?
41549Father,quoth the Prince,"do you well to lead Christians into a strait like this,--then valorously depart?"
41549Father,said Richard,"do you know what the princes say?
41549Five dirhems?
41549Food?
41549Fool, fool; am I not a woman? 41549 Fools, how long will you carry yourselves so arrogantly?
41549Forgive?
41549Go to Jerusalem?
41549God alone knows?
41549Godfrey of Bouillon? 41549 Has De Valmont a new rival?"
41549Have I not bidden you all begone?
41549Have I not mocked you often for your Persian''light of the cheeks''which you keep in that casket? 41549 Have I slept very long?"
41549Have we endured all this pain in vain?
41549Have we here the very devil in human guise?
41549He is-- safe?
41549He shudder? 41549 He swears he will have you flayed alive,"gasped the dwarf;"why should I save you after what you have done to me?"
41549He will die?
41549Her husband?
41549Ho, sirrah; and are we on the Baron of St. Julien''s land?
41549Holy Father,said he, in the tongue of northern France,"do you not know me?
41549Holy Mother, how know you this?
41549How could I ever have lived without you? 41549 How far?"
41549How is it, Lord?
41549How long?
41549How was it you that led Iftikhar to his madness, and put frenzy in this woman''s heart?
41549How will you go? 41549 How?
41549I am thirsty,said the Greek, simply;"may I drink?"
41549I am, my Lord Duke; yet how could you know me?
41549I did not; why did you ask?
41549I forewarned the Vizier Afdhal that nothing would come of this; for have I not seen your France with my own eyes? 41549 I love my lord,"growled the fellow;"how do I know but that you seek his ill?
41549I should be very happy, should I not?
41549I? 41549 I?"
41549If Thou art all- powerful, why dost Thou let these things be? 41549 If he flee, whom may we trust?
41549Iftikhar? 41549 Iftikhar?
41549Iftikhar?
41549Iftikhar?
41549In Allah''s name,was his demand as he entered, and recoiled in his horror at the sight,"what means this rumor on the streets?
41549Is it not as I said, fair lords?
41549Is it not written,''Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God?'' 41549 Is it written?"
41549Is the hold of Raoul de Valmont like to this?
41549Is there no other door?
41549Is this the welcome that I give you, sweet grandson?
41549Kill me? 41549 Kill me?"
41549Learned?
41549Lie they under the sea that by Ormuz darkles, Or the broad blue bay of the Golden Isles? 41549 Little wife,"spoke he, in her ear,"will you trust Rollo?"
41549Lord de St. Julien,cried Bouillon,"alone?
41549Lord,said she, half bitterly,"will palace, and riches, and slaves bind up a bruised heart?
41549Lost? 41549 Love_ me_?"
41549Loved you? 41549 Madman,"she tossed back, all her anger rising at his importunity,"do you think you will buy me with such a bribe?
41549Mary,cried Morgiana,"are you very strong?
41549Master?
41549Men of St. Julien,cried Richard,"will you follow me?"
41549Miracle? 41549 Mockery is of little profit this morning, my lord,"said Richard, soberly;"how may I serve you?"
41549Mother of Sorrows,began the knight,"were you wounded?"
41549My darts?
41549My father?
41549My faults?
41549My good lord,answered he,"do you not know that when I sing love, I sing not the love of any one lady?
41549Never fear, good woman; where are the raiders? 41549 Never?"
41549No fears-- is not Allah over us both? 41549 Not gay?
41549Not on the Judgment Day when, says Al Koran,''Allah shall gather all men together, and they shall recognize one another''?
41549Now tell me, how is my grandfather; well, save for his eyes?
41549Now, Herbert,cried the Norman,"what means this?
41549O dearest one,cried Morgiana, troubled greatly,"how may I comfort you?
41549O lady of excellent beauty,he began abruptly,"will you indeed give your hand to him who conquers to- morrow?"
41549O my lord,began Richard again; and again the elder man stayed him with,"And why not?
41549O saintly spirits of Charlemagne, and of Louis his pious son, scourges of Saracens, why do ye sleep? 41549 Philippa?"
41549Raoul used by the saints to reward me? 41549 Ready, my men?"
41549Riddles? 41549 Ride?"
41549Safety for me and for Musa? 41549 Sebastian,"said Richard,"do you know, if the lance is not found, the whole host will curse God; perhaps turn infidel for a loaf of bread?"
41549Shall the devil go up and down in my own castle? 41549 Shall we fail now with St. Michael and Our Lady to aid?"
41549Sir Louis,repeated the princess, still at her lordly poise,"did you not hear what I said?"
41549Sirs-- what is this? 41549 Slain?
41549So he has been at La Haye all the winter?
41549So near, and not discovered?
41549So you made test of the white falcon; does she take quarry?
41549So,asked Richard,"this raid was on your account?"
41549Stand by, men; I will go first; who second?
41549Sweet children, what is this? 41549 Tell me, brother mine,"said he,"why are you not gay?
41549Tell me, my sister, what am I to do? 41549 Tell me,"quoth the earlier speaker,"O Star that falls in the Desert, how you come here, if you are possessed by Iftikhar Eddauleh?"
41549The Star of the Greeks? 41549 The dervish Kerbogha?"
41549The same, my lord prince; what news?
41549The sealed door?
41549The secret confederacy among Moslems, whose god is the dagger?
41549The''hot- bowl''?
41549Then the raiders sought your life, not your ransom?
41549Then what am I to do?
41549Then why this delay-- this endless journey?
41549Then,asked the Spaniard,"until the city is saved we are at truce?"
41549Then,persisted Morgiana, a fierce ring coming into her tone;"why does He suffer you to endure such sorrow?"
41549Theroulde? 41549 They have brought the tray?"
41549This is El Halebah? 41549 Threaten?
41549To Aleppo? 41549 To Aleppo?"
41549To save me? 41549 To save me?"
41549Unworthy we are, but do we not fight for the glory of Christ?
41549Verily,exclaimed the jeweller;"and have you come from Spain?
41549Were these the terrible men who had won Nicæa and Dorylæum, and taken Antioch?
41549What are the pomps of this world?
41549What has the Prince of Tarentum been trying to lead toward, save shame and disaster?
41549What have I done? 41549 What is he to you, woman?"
41549What is this doing of yours?
41549What is this, my men? 41549 What is your command,_ Sanctissime_?"
41549What matter, if all else is well?
41549What may I do for you?
41549What new devil''s devisings? 41549 What shall I say to the people who are waiting without the church?"
41549What to me?
41549What, to- night?
41549When I am alone and sorely tempted-- what then?
41549When? 41549 Where are your eyes?"
41549Where is Odon? 41549 Where is Sebastian?"
41549Where is Thy Power, now, Lord God?
41549Where is Zeyneb, the emir''s dwarf?
41549Where is the boy, woman?
41549Where were your horses tethered?
41549Where, as Allah lives,--where is the Star of the Greeks?
41549Where?
41549Wherefore has God suffered this? 41549 Whither shall I go from Thy spirit, or whither shall I flee from Thy presence?
41549Who are you to utter God''s name?
41549Who but I, brother?
41549Who is this''he''?
41549Why better?
41549Why could you not die defending your mistress?
41549Why not, rascal?
41549Why shall I not say it now?
41549Why should I not curse you? 41549 Why should I not go with you to Jerusalem?
41549Why speak of Richard Longsword? 41549 Why?
41549Why?
41549Why?
41549Will you not come with us?
41549Worthy sheik, can you tell me if you possess any Andalusian corals? 41549 Wrong?
41549Yes: but--Musa laughed a little nervously--"but if the city is taken?
41549Yet he keeps himself very retired about the country house?
41549Yet why so merry?
41549You Franks and Cid Musa: again, I demand, will you yield the Greek and go free?
41549You are not a friend of Sir Louis, or the emir?
41549You have been to Antioch?
41549You say well, my sister; but how came Iftikhar to follow me? 41549 You say your sins are many?"
41549You see I have returned safe from my long journey, Moon of Yemen; can you wish me no joy?
41549You sin? 41549 You understand Greek, Sir Frank?"
41549You will swear, then?
41549You worship him; yet you are his slave?
41549Your husband? 41549 Yours?
41549Zeyneb? 41549 _ Ai_, father,"muttered the Norman, turning,"why did you not remain in the glen by the horses?
41549_ Allah akhbar!_ What is this, down the path?
41549_ Allah akhbar!_rang the shout of the Arab, a voice he knew full well, yet had heard-- where?
41549_ Bismillah!_ what were they about to do?
41549_ Mashallah!_ is it not a talisman?
41549_ Mashallah!_cried Iftikhar, raising his hands,"when did you devise all this for me?"
41549_ Wallah!_ and when will he return?
41549_ Wallah!_ what may I say to comfort you?
41549_ Wallah!_was his greeting,"are you wounded?"
41549_ Wallah_, can one always play at backgammon,[1] and win? 41549 _ Ya!_ Eighty, then?"
41549_ Ya!_ When did old Jam[=i]l at Cordova dream, while he taught an idle student his art, that by it I would earn six dirhems and a mess of figs? 41549 _ Ya_,"he heard her demand;"will you call the''devoted''?
41549A dozen voices cried:"What man?
41549A friendly baron loaned bloodhounds; but which of the many trails was Zeyneb''s who might say?
41549A good horse, a good sword, a good wife, and a good grudge-- what more can an honest man want, be he knight or''villain''?"
41549A palace-- can any be more fair than El Halebah?
41549A strange embassy this-- who are you?
41549Above all, should he peril the army of the Cross because Mary loved peace in heaven rather than the pleasures of El Halebah?
41549Alone?"
41549Am I not enough punished?"
41549Am I not the chief?
41549Ammar''s face was lowering when he demanded:--"Yet how will you answer to Al Afdhal, the vizier?"
41549And Duke Godfrey?"
41549And God said to them:"Why have you come here, your sins unrepented, unshriven, all unprepared to die?"
41549And Guy retorted madly:--"Angry,_ Sanctissime?_ Look on our faces, my lord bishop.
41549And Iftikhar questioned:--"The messenger I sent ahead from Afrin came promptly?"
41549And John of the Iron Arm?"
41549And Mary, as she rode beside him, answered, smiling:"Why?
41549And Peter, trembling, answered,"And who are you, good lord?"
41549And Richard would answer,"As many as you, fair lord; but who is this grand soldan you have strapped to your stirrup?
41549And Richard, catching the lighter mood, answered:"And will you go forever mateless?
41549And Richard, who knew what she meant( for when did he not read all in her eyes?
41549And Richard?
41549And Rollo?
41549And at last she asked,"How far about extends the grove of the palace?"
41549And can one live forever in the great church, and eat and drink music?
41549And did God give you a grip of steel and an arm of iron to let them grow weak in some monkish cell?
41549And had he never seen that splendid rider before?
41549And has not this Richard Longsword been chastened?
41549And his sister?
41549And how have you fared all this while among the Turks?"
41549And how may I lift eyes to Mary now?
41549And how with Richard?
41549And in the lead of the Nubians, and last of them to turn back, had he not seen that figure in gilded mail he had singled for his vengeance?
41549And is not Iftikhar to me in the place of Allah?
41549And is your little body strong enough for the long, long way to Jerusalem?"
41549And lying under the spreading trees, she did as she wished; for how could Richard refuse her?
41549And may I ask why you speak thus?
41549And now"--raising her eyes--"tell me; shall we be friends?"
41549And now?"
41549And shall I not be one?
41549And shall I not use that gift of the saints?
41549And the Greek?
41549And the Norman?
41549And the palace itself?
41549And then?
41549And twenty tongues tossed back:"Are you a stranger?
41549And was he not hunted?
41549And was she not willing to pay?
41549And what have you done to seek for her?"
41549And what may I do for you?
41549And when we were with you in Sicily, and you served amongst the Christians, what nest of the wood- thrush more joyous than our home at Palermo?
41549And who is so wise that he will say:''Musa the Moslem shall never again give succor to Mary, the Star of the Christians''?"
41549And who knows that your churchmen, and even our prophet( on whom be peace), are wrong alike?
41549And who may you be, for I have seen your face before, yet forget the name?"
41549And who would then hide its brightness?"
41549And why come you here unbidden, with cimeter and target?"
41549And why have I, man of sin from my birth, cause to walk proudly?"
41549And why is it thus you kiss me?"
41549And why lost, my lord?"
41549And will you fright me with a''perhaps''?
41549And will you now fail, swiftest of the_ destrers_ of France?"
41549And yet was not this bond betwixt Christian and Moslem a sin not lightly to be punished?
41549And yet you accuse him of being one of them?
41549And you love the West?
41549Are not all mortals slaves of Allah?
41549Are not your joys my joys; your sorrows-- what sorrows are they not!--mine?
41549Are the cavaliers who saw your back at Antioch hidden in this house, that you must burst in to beard them?"
41549Are the days of God''s mercy spent?
41549Are there no noble ladies who go with the army,--the Countess of Toulouse, the wife of Baldwin, brother of great Duke Godfrey, and many more?
41549Are there not haughty tyrants with no fear of God in their hearts, who must be overthrown by a Christian cavalier?
41549Are we not Thy soldiers, and Thy children?
41549Are we not in God''s hands?
41549Are we not told''he that exalteth himself shall be abased''?
41549Are you an unhorned ox?"
41549Are you angels with swords of fire, that you can blast ten thousand?
41549Are you angry?"
41549Are you blind?
41549Are you mad?
41549Are you not lord of this body of mine you so lust after?
41549Are you not master?
41549Are your troop still left, and your horses unwounded?"
41549As for Hossein, what do you say?
41549As you won honor after honor, and Christian and Moslem lauded you, was your gladness greater than mine?
41549Asad lifted the necklace; the Spaniard eyed it carelessly:"Four dihrems?"
41549At last Iftikhar spoke:--"You come from Frankland?"
41549At the moment he felt as if he could grapple the brute in bare hands and come off victor; and if otherwise-- what matter?
41549Away to the east were more hills-- the Cevennes; and beyond, very near the sky line, what was that whiteness through the scattering haze-- the Alps?
41549Be warned; bitter sorrow or perdition will come of this friendship; have you forgotten your vow to slay the unbelievers and free Jerusalem?"
41549Behind him flew De Valmont and Tancred, who knew him by his armor, and taunted:--"Face to face, Cid Iftikhar; did you fly thus at Palermo?"
41549Brew quarrels under your lady''s very eyes?
41549But Mary answered her sharply:--"Must one have a white skin to love Our Lord?
41549But Mary only answered very gravely:--"Are not men created in God''s image?"
41549But Robert, Count of Flanders, broke out madly:--"By St. Nicholas of Ghent, why sit we here as speechless oxen?
41549But a native of the region might well have wandered in that dusky maze, and where were Richard''s wits for woodcraft?
41549But are not Christ and Our Lady still with us?
41549But he, Richard Longsword, had he not been brought up gently by his mother, as became a high- born Christian cavalier?
41549But in time?
41549But now, with victory all but in their grasp, with the Tomb of Christ under their very eyes, how could mortal strength brook such delay?
41549But quick as the first flood of gladness passed, Morgiana broke forth with the eager demand:--"Musa?
41549But she asked,"Yet I saw neither among the combatants?"
41549But should he set her joy and his before the lives of dear comrades, who had ridden lightly to the jaws of death in his quarrel?
41549But tell me: does the line of Kerbogha compass the whole city?
41549But the Duke replied:--"How before, my lord?
41549But the Valmonters-- the boy Gilbert?"
41549But there is a bandage on your wrist-- what?
41549But to a Spaniard like yourself the making of such a song-- it means nothing?"
41549But to win the lady, what may I do?
41549But was he not dead to her?
41549But was this to be the end of the Crusade?
41549But were you frightened?"
41549But what cared Richard?
41549But who then cared for the fate of the vanquished?
41549But why detain me?
41549But you surely repeat gossip on the streets, you do not know the eunuchs, or have access yourself to El Halebah?"
41549But you?"
41549By what right will you treat me as is unfit to one of your own coarse brood?"
41549CHAPTER XXXIII HOW EYBEK TURNED GRAY"And how is it with the Star of the Greeks?"
41549Can He do wrong, or bring His own word to naught?"
41549Can St. Andrew lie?"
41549Can any good thing come from Kerbogha, Iftikhar''s ally?
41549Can not even a Christian say that?
41549Can not the Lord of St. Julien have the best and the fairest?--in Sicily, in France, in Syria?
41549Can you see through walls as through Greek glass?"
41549Can you think of nothing worse?"
41549Could a journey to Jerusalem write again his name in the Book of Life?
41549Could even the Holy Father give rest to his soul?
41549Could human hearts be filled so full and not break?
41549Could she not even have sorrow in peace?
41549Covered with blood?"
41549Dare any deny it?"
41549De St. Julien,"Tancred would cry,--"how many paladins have you slain?"
41549Dear God, what have I done that for an hour you should love me?"
41549Dear God-- what has befallen?
41549Depart?
41549Did Hakem awake after I cut his throat?
41549Did I love him by my reason?
41549Did I not freely forgive Censius the brigand, who sought my life?
41549Did I not plead with him not to torture Baron Gaston, and tell him the saints would requite tenfold?"
41549Did I not profess myself ready to lead over land and sea to the Holy Sepulchre?
41549Did Rollo know he trod down holy ground, his great feet fell so softly?
41549Did a voice speak from the blue above?
41549Did he know that Mary''s heart would ride with one of the train and not with the other?
41549Did he love her more than Mary?
41549Did men only die to one another when they stopped eating, talking, and sleeping?
41549Did not Foulques of Anjou go thrice to Jerusalem before earning peace for his soul?"
41549Did not all Palermo know how she had given her glove to De Valmont?
41549Did not ravens croak when men drew nigh their dooms?
41549Did the black brute understand?
41549Did they fight men or sheytans, whose home was flame?
41549Did thus God will?
41549Did you ever have love for a pure and beautiful maid?"
41549Did you see?
41549Do I need maledictions from you to make my lot less darksome, my cup less bitter?
41549Do I prove a faithful cavalier?"
41549Do I wish to be free?
41549Do not cast your life away"?
41549Do they look as if we had feasted?
41549Do we well to nurse private lusts and hates, while the jewel of Islam trembles in the balance?"
41549Do you envy me my first inheritance?"
41549Do you know what pain is, and agony, beyond your conceiving?
41549Do you know,"and he showed his white teeth,"I have killed your sister Eleanor with my own hand?"
41549Do you not know?
41549Do you not long to be back?
41549Do you say''go''?
41549Do you think Allah is less compassionate than we, who have dwelt together these many days, and to whom our faith has been no barrier to pure love?"
41549Do you think I shrink from you, that I bless the saints I am not yet your wife and can escape a hateful bond?
41549Do you wish them well?"
41549Do?
41549Does Allah rain houris in youths''clothes upon the waste land betwixt Sermada and Harenc?
41549Does He take pleasure in the woes of His children?
41549Does Mary know what we said together, at parting at Antioch?"
41549Does a true lover think so meanly of his love, that he is willing to tear her heart by thrusting his precious self in peril?"
41549Does not God will rather that I should play my part here, than throw away life and love in a mad wandering to Jerusalem?"
41549Does not my belly pinch?
41549Does not my very breath tremble on your nod?"
41549Does the Moslem Iftikhar find favor?
41549Does the dagger say,''I am sovereign physician''?"
41549Dumb as a mute?
41549Each instant Crusaders were falling; should they sit forever and be shot to death?
41549Empty?
41549Every time his good arm brought low an infidel he was glad; was he not performing to God a holy service?
41549Fear for himself he had none; the battle might sweep over him, the war- horns blow his funeral mass-- what matter?
41549Fear-- what was it?
41549Folly-- had he not his mail- shirt, and Trenchefer still at his side?
41549Food?
41549For how can I have joy in heaven, if"--and he crossed himself--"I am ever worthy to pass thither, thinking that Mary is in tears?"
41549For what cause is it surrounded by your negroes, and violated?"
41549For what is this horse?"
41549For you have I not prepared this palace, than which is not a fairer from Andalus to Turan?
41549For your sake have I not sent to the ends of the earth?
41549Forgive what-- that you loved Richard Longsword, and wished to know it was well with him?
41549Forgive you?
41549Four and twenty hours, barely halting, all had advanced, but who was weary?
41549From what?
41549George?"
41549Give for rest, peace, joy, an end of sorrow, struggle, longing?"
41549Godfrey of Lorraine?
41549Godfrey, who was cast with Richard for a moment, asked,"And is this not Iftikhar Eddauleh?"
41549Ha, my brother?"
41549Had God turned away His face from His children?
41549Had he indeed forsaken his passion for her forever?
41549Had he never before fenced with that cunning hand?
41549Had he never seen that graceful figure make those valorous strokes before?
41549Had he not already won a name and a fame-- as a true sprig of the Longswords?
41549Had he not given his mother a pious and holy kiss when he fared away to Auvergne?
41549Had he wings when he mounted the stairway?
41549Had there not been at his side for guide and counsellor Sebastian, who was one of the elect of God?
41549Has God ceased to hear prayer?"
41549Has He abased Guibert of Ravenna, the Antipope, very Antichrist?
41549Has Satan uncovered the Pit, and his imps flown out?
41549Has he humbled Henry, the German, Antichrist''s friend?"
41549Has simony or uncleanness ever justly been laid at my door?
41549Have I ever been a worldly prelate, whose cellars are full of wines, whose castles abound with plate and falcons and chargers?
41549Have I ever deceived?
41549Have I not forbidden it?"
41549Have I not loved you, and been ever faithful?"
41549Have I not played my part at Nicæa, Dorylæum, the battles around the city?
41549Have I not seen your face two nights and a day; and do I not commit you to the noblest friend in all the wide earth?
41549Have I not wrought on the walls manfully as Iftikhar?
41549Have I put nothing at risk in this Crusade?
41549Have you home, friends, kin?"
41549Have you sought to make the Greek take her life?
41549He had been cruel?
41549He should never see them more in this world-- and in the next?
41549He who gave his master the iron lance instead of the reed, when Iftikhar rode against Musa the Spaniard?"
41549How can I bless Allah when I desire to love you so, yet know that your life is misery to me, as misery to you?
41549How can you make the journey?
41549How could any Christian maid fall into their hands?
41549How dare I stand and speak thus to you of what I ought to hide even from myself?
41549How does the night advance?"
41549How has he paid back your great love for him?
41549How have you learned?
41549How he told you the tales of his people and sang you the wondrous song of Antar, and the stories of the jinns and the spirits of the air?"
41549How know you that this is not a reward for all your sins?"
41549How long have I known you?"
41549How long then does the arch- sultan delay to send the bowstring?"
41549How may I requite?"
41549How may we enter?"
41549How much longer could she hold fast?
41549How shall I reward you?
41549How, save by Thy grace, did Prince Tancred ride alone against an hundred, and see them flee as leaves before the gale?"
41549How, save by Thy help, did our poor jaded steeds fly like eagles after their Arabs, and overtake those chargers swifter than the lightnings?
41549How?
41549I am alone-- alone; and to whom am I a care?"
41549I equal in guile Zeyneb, the crooked- backed toad of the gallant Iftikhar?
41549I say again: How can these things be-- God sit silent in yonder blue heaven, and still be good?"
41549I shall become a great emir,--vizier perhaps-- no-- I will better that; what may not a good sword hope with favoring start?
41549I, who was left a foundling in the great Cairo mosque El- Azhar, and was reared by the compassionate Imam Abdul Aziz?
41549I?"
41549If he had entered the city so easily, might not Mary have come in at his side?
41549If not he, whom?
41549If now Thou forsakest Thy champions, who will henceforth fight for Thee?"
41549If the city falls, will not my husband be at hand to receive me?
41549If they were all righteous, why had they created in her that stubborn will which would not bow to their decree?
41549If you go to Jerusalem and the Christians attack, as attack they will, you will defend the city, will fight to the last?"
41549Iftikhar cut her short:"Dying?
41549Iftikhar leaned, as he rode, and half whispered to Richard,"Do you know the brotherhood of the Ismaelians?"
41549In Palermo?"
41549In Satan''s name, will you add to your infamy by reviling my mother to her face?
41549In an hour like this, with the Sacred City at stake, shall your emir or another dip hands in a private quarrel?
41549In the years of my youth-- what may not have happened?
41549Is Palestine, even with Jerusalem, more fair than Auvergne?
41549Is all life a rowing from Chalcedon to Prinkipo?
41549Is gold a cordial for the soul?
41549Is he not a boorish Frank?
41549Is it a sin to take delight, when Allah reveals to us what seems a glimmer of Paradise?
41549Is it near the end?"
41549Is it not as wrong to fling life away as to turn the back on the foe in fair battle?
41549Is it not so, Kerbogha?"
41549Is it not your pleasure, rather than my right, that keeps me from their servile tasks?
41549Is it thus you earn Paradise?"
41549Is not Iftikhar lord of Jerusalem?
41549Is not that chance worth the hazard of death?
41549Is she here?"
41549Is she not my captive?
41549Is the world so good, so free from violence, and wickedness, and strife, that he who can wield a sword for Christ should let it rust in the scabbard?
41549Is there not sorrow enough, that you need make more?
41549Is your voice strange?
41549It needed none to tell her that the sally had failed, else why did the great gate clash to in a twinkling the instant the last rider passed under?
41549It was Asad that grunted now, but he only answered:"Have I not three wives and seven children?
41549Julien?"
41549Julien?"
41549Julien?"
41549Julien?"
41549Kneel, fall at your feet, kiss them?"
41549Lady Ide on the hard flags was beginning to quiver and moan-- how came she there?
41549Let emir or sultan offend:--he lies down on his bed, his memlouks about; he awakes-- in paradise; for in all Islam who may escape our daggers?
41549Louder the din; Richard turned to his protectress half fiercely:"What is this?
41549Love?
41549Mary Kurkuas was my wife; but what was she to you?"
41549Mary was silent; the old man continued:"No reply?
41549Mary''s eyes were fastened on the silver cups; were they brimmed with nectar of the old Greek gods that they should charm her so?
41549May I not be hailed in twenty years''Commander of the Faithful''?"
41549Mere gratitude?
41549Miracle of mercy?"
41549Musa bowed his head; then to Mary:"And you, Brightness of the Greeks, are you bound irrevocably to go to Palestine?"
41549Musa?
41549Must you brawl under my very eyes?"
41549My old watch- dogs, Herbert and Sebastian, Theroulde the minstrel, Rollo, my horse-- who more, my Lord Duke?"
41549My power?
41549Nasr had spoken in Arabic, but his companions understood him well enough; for what tongue was not current in Sicily?
41549Neither he nor Richard spoke the word nearest their hearts,--"What will befall the soul of my brother?"
41549No answer; then again,"Are we on the Baron of St. Julien''s land?"
41549No thundercloud was blacker than Richard Longsword''s face when he answered, hardly keeping self- mastery:--"And does this fellow speak for you all?"
41549Not a word spoken-- when might this journey end?
41549O Allah, if indeed Thou art omnipotent and merciful, why may such things be?"
41549O generation of vipers, who shall save you from eternal wrath?"
41549Of all the prisoners taken Longsword had only one question,"Whither fled Iftikhar and his band?"
41549Of this Ismaelian brotherhood I know very little; but if their daggers can reach even to France, what is not their might in the East?
41549One night when the Moor drank sherbet, she tasted nothing, she went to sleep; they found her body with a smile on the lips-- her soul--?
41549Only by some mad instinct he leaped and cleared it, and ran on and on; fleeing-- from what?
41549Or where breeze- loved haven in far west sparkles, Alight with the sun''s ne''er- vanishing smiles?"
41549Our friendship is young: may I put it to a test?"
41549Perhaps dead to all the world?
41549Rather should you not rejoice that God has remembered my long travail, and opens wide the doorway to the dwellings of His rest?"
41549Reveal-- is it written in the smoke that Barkyarok perish?
41549Richard Longsword, that boorish Frank, who has a bull''s strength with a baboon''s wits?
41549Richard chuckled at the circuit this bit of news had taken; then pressed:--"But you have seen him?
41549Richard drove his own spade down, as if very life depended on each stroke, and who might deny it?
41549Richard listened to the beating of his own heart-- merciful saints, why so loudly?
41549Richard put the face of Mary Kurkuas before his eyes while he fought: should he never see her more?
41549Rose of Byzantium,"said he, half whimsically,"do you think I am so great I can hurl back doom?
41549Save for the plumed helm that he held in his hand, who could say he was not the Egyptian?
41549Says not Al Koran,''Allah is most ready to forgive, and merciful''?"
41549Shall I go up?"
41549Shall I receive_ cansos_ when my hair is gray, or my face wrinkled?
41549Shall I repeat the words of this holy hermit?
41549Shall I say it again; are you not my brother, is not Mary the Greek my sister?
41549Shall I tell how Christians have bathed the very altars in their blood; how your brethren have chosen martyrdom, rather than deny Christ''s name?
41549Shall I tell how churches are beaten down, or-- Christ forbid-- become temples of the accursed worship?
41549Shall he not die?"
41549Shall the paynims say,''There are no steeds like the steeds of the East?''
41549Shall we not fly?"
41549She saw a dark shadow flit over Musa''s face: was it as the ship''s lantern swayed in the slow swell of the sea?
41549She stumbled on some form-- a man sleeping in his drunkenness; for the law of the Prophet against wine, who had observed that night?
41549She was nigh asking herself:"Why this stamping?
41549Should she die, and by his hand?
41549Should she die, with him so strong, with the might of the saints shed over him as never before?
41549So Richard thanked them for their courtesy, and then questioned:--"And is my lord the Baron well?"
41549So from the least to the greatest all were stirred; and if King Philip, and William the Red, and Emperor Henry moved not-- what matter?
41549So think you not the sin I committed against you and yours has not met its reward?
41549So?
41549Sorrow?
41549Tears?
41549Tell me-- why are our heads not struck off at once?"
41549That every man and maid who has walked humbly in the sight of the Most High, and striven to do His will, will not be denied the joy hereafter?
41549The Norman''s thoughts?
41549The Pope raved,--all knew it,--but who should say him nay?
41549The Saracens stood dumbly, but perhaps said their word to"Allah,"--for who among them was fated to see another morning?
41549The Valmonters had lived as devils, as devils they fought; but what could they do, save die?
41549The best lance in the South Country dismounted, then mastered by a boy scarce knighted?
41549The drawbridge at the crest the stones had long since dashed to flinders; what matter?
41549The heritage of the Lord is wasted; the Queen of cities groans in chains-- who, who will spring to her release?
41549The pang?
41549The tents in disorder?
41549The third hour after noon; were the heavens of adamant that they did not crack asunder at the roaring?
41549The voice, the throb behind the voice,--the word"Iftikhar,"not"master"--were they Mary''s own?
41549The wish?
41549The words of the service were ringing in his ears-- who uttered them?
41549Then I turned to one of the women, and said,''And are the Christians besieging Antioch?''
41549Then Louis burst forth:--"But why, by the Holy Cross, did you venture hither?
41549Then Mary asked-- half guessing the reply--"And know you anything of his friend, the Spaniard Musa?"
41549Then he added:"Morgiana?
41549Then slowly, with a soft rhythm and melody attuned so well by his rich voice, he answered:"What to me?
41549Then the Christian chiefs pressed him closer, and Hugh of Vermandois demanded:"But what of Phirous?
41549Then the apparition fell on his knees, saying humbly:--"And will not the Pope bless Sebastian the palmer from Jerusalem?"
41549Then the elder man had said,"What do you?"
41549Then the further thought, at which Richard''s soul grew black as night:"Should he never-- never in this world-- set eyes on Mary again?
41549Then the question was,"And where is Musa?"
41549Then, after a pause,"Now, my men, are we prepared-- body and soul-- for victory on earth, or the sight of God the Father?"
41549Then, after long silence:"Have I the treasures of Solomon the Wise?
41549Then, turning to Richard,"Tell me, Sir Norman, do you see anything about me to be ashamed of, that I must veil my face?"
41549Therefore why ask me?
41549Theroulde said no more, and Richard, looking into the shield, thought in his heart,"Were Mary to see me now, would she still love me?"
41549Theroulde?"
41549Think you I shall greatly fear, if Sir Louis calls in his men and bids them slay me?
41549This morning beside the raging horse?
41549Time presses; to- morrow?
41549To strike kalif and sultan we need more-- an army-- myriads; how gather it?
41549To what end?
41549To you my name is Musa; and yours--?"
41549Under their missiles he saw the battlements crumbling; dared he hope he saw the firm curtain- wall totter?
41549Was Mary, Mother of God, sitting upon the Heavenly Throne, fairer than she?
41549Was he not conscious in his innermost soul, that there were bright eyes and a sweet face very close to his own?
41549Was he not fleeing?
41549Was his hand steady enough to pin the Arab through the thigh where flesh was thick, and so take him prisoner?
41549Was it Iftikhar Eddauleh who crowned his turban with the prize?"
41549Was it day that was dawning on each of those stony faces?
41549Was it not a dream?
41549Was it not enchantment that made that stony face take on the likeness of Mary the Greek?
41549Was it only some forest bird that croaked in Richard''s disordered ear?
41549Was it river mist only that was hanging in cold beads upon his brow?
41549Was it true that all the world was guilty and sinful even as he?
41549Was not that repaying her preserver with more than friendship?
41549Was not the lady in his debt, had she not shown all favor?
41549Was the great change come so nigh that one heard God''s white host singing?
41549Was the wine fire, that it burned through every vein?
41549Was there a great gulf sundering him eternally from the Spaniard?
41549Water?
41549We both are valiant men; we two fought with honor at least, though to my cost,--shall we not be as strong in friendship as in hate?"
41549Well?"
41549Were I to look on any Moslem, why not Musa?
41549Were not her prayers still in his ears?
41549Were the Jews more righteous than we, that they should be saved by wonders from heaven, and we perish like oxen?
41549Were they not-- all save his sister-- happy now?
41549What angel could sing of paynim genii and peris?
41549What can I do?"
41549What do I, save defend my own house, and my own harem?
41549What do we?"
41549What do you expect?"
41549What do you see in the dark?"
41549What do you seek?"
41549What else possible?
41549What enchanter has told you this-- has humiliated me thus?"
41549What grosser guilt than that?"
41549What guard were light targets and cotton turbans to the swords of the men of France?
41549What had befallen Richard and Musa that day of blood?
41549What had befallen?
41549What had he been doing?
41549What had he, unknighted, comparatively unrenowned, to proffer, when such champions sought her grace?
41549What had she not escaped?
41549What have I done that you love me so; that you can so cheerfully leave all this, and dwell with me in our rude, bare West?"
41549What have you done?
41549What if dead?"
41549What is he like?"
41549What is left to fear?
41549What is life without its grudges?
41549What is my life without you?
41549What is the desire?
41549What is this to me?"
41549What is this?
41549What is to be done, if not to die, one and all, cursing the day we put the cross upon our breasts?"
41549What is to be done?"
41549What knight ever rode such a_ destrer_?
41549What lady would not lose her heart at his compliments?"
41549What magic letters are these upon the blade?"
41549What mattered it now?
41549What matters it what befall me?
41549What may I do for you?"
41549What may I do in Thy service?''
41549What may I proffer you,--music?
41549What mean they, Herbert?"
41549What means this party so far from the walls?"
41549What might Richard say?
41549What might he do?
41549What more can I do?
41549What my power among the Ismaelians?
41549What need has your Lord Richard of a_ jongleur_--mountebank himself?"
41549What need of parting?
41549What of me?
41549What recked Longsword?
41549What resistance could your servants make, were you to cry ever so loudly?
41549What rider this, that gained on Rollo?
41549What said Our Lord upon the cross?
41549What said you, Arab?"
41549What tale?
41549What was left to say?
41549What were these visions flitting before her eyes?
41549What were those words between you?"
41549What will Iftikhar do?"
41549What would you give to be truly free?
41549What, with you beside, is there left to fear, living or dying?"
41549What?"
41549Whatever is written in the books of our dooms-- what power may withstand?
41549When a tiny stream was reached-- what was it among so many?
41549When did I that, to give you speed?
41549When first did we meet?
41549When have I heard it before?
41549When have you served my father?"
41549When last had he touched food or drink or tasted sleep?
41549When might she forget the unholy desire on the emir''s face when he departed?
41549When the infidels had been so utterly broken, what was there to fear?
41549When the two again found words, the first question from the Spaniard was,"And how is it with the Star of the Greeks?"
41549When we held the rich Jew without water four days since, did I not share the ransom equally?
41549When?
41549Where are Hakem and the maids?"
41549Where are my brave cavaliers from Rouen and Harfleur?
41549Where are you going?"
41549Where are your crucified Messiah and your false apostles, that they let you perish like gnats?
41549Where are your twelve thousand?
41549Where in the West was one building so notable as were a score along the Mesa, the great street from the"Golden Gate"to the"Sacred Palace"?
41549Where is Odon, Bishop of Ostia?
41549Where is he?
41549Where is the Cid Iftikhar Eddauleh?"
41549Where is the father or the king who would suffer his own to perish when he has power to save?
41549Where then your anathemas?
41549Where was he who had left no friend on those burning sands or at Dorylæum?
41549Whereupon Musa laughed in his melancholy way, replying:--"And why may not I bid you become Moslem and speed to Egypt?"
41549Who am I, to know the desire of Iftikhar?
41549Who are you that mock Sir Louis de Valmont?
41549Who craved speech at such an hour?
41549Who dares compare him to Iftikhar Eddauleh?
41549Who dares set foot within the precincts of El Halebah?"
41549Who else, at my summons, will take the journey thither?"
41549Who gave it?"
41549Who is the warrior you see against the smoke?"
41549Who is this man with you?"
41549Who knows lest your friend will woo no more after that day?
41549Who might say?
41549Who might say?
41549Who of mortal stuff would fail to bend before such love as his; and he-- was he not worth all loving?
41549Who of you is guiltless?
41549Who recked?
41549Who recks to see the morning light?''"
41549Who speaks?
41549Who the slave, you or I?
41549Who under such a sun could keep sad, and grimace at God and His world?
41549Who was this that could smite Sir Louis at ten passes?
41549Whose voice?
41549Why came his breath so swift and deep?
41549Why did his dark beauty become more splendid?
41549Why did his head throb as if the veins were bursting?
41549Why did men stare at him, and shrink away from his glance?
41549Why did the light flash still more brightly in Iftikhar''s eyes?
41549Why did you let the veil slip from your face?
41549Why did you not wake us?"
41549Why did you wander into the streets at sundown?
41549Why had God dealt with him thus?
41549Why had she held that cup to his lips that night at Cefalu?
41549Why has Zeyneb come to Clermont, save to do what failed at Cefalu?"
41549Why hast Thou forsaken me?"
41549Why mistrust?
41549Why no banner?
41549Why not?
41549Why ride you here alone?"
41549Why shall I not deal with her as with any slave?
41549Why should I live and you die?
41549Why should he ask her love if once he possessed her?"
41549Why should she suffer for his sin,--even if it had not been purged at Clermont?"
41549Why should we grieve?
41549Why this ring of steel?
41549Why was it that every breath seemed alive with spirits unseen?
41549Why were beads of sweat on the Spaniard''s brow?
41549Why, if God had been so wroth with him, had He not stricken him, and let the innocent go free?
41549Why?
41549Why?
41549Why?"
41549Will God give a higher place in heaven to the sinful duke than to the righteous peasant?
41549Will God, who plucked us out of the clutch of Kilidge Arslan and Kerbogha, suffer us to fail at the last?
41549Will He not dispose all aright,--to- night,--to- morrow,--forever,--though we may not see the path?"
41549Will Iftikhar return to see the execution?"
41549Will he fetch a thousand byzants''ransom?"
41549Will his coming make our task easier?
41549Will you be run to death like a fawn?
41549Will you deliver me up to Iftikhar?"
41549Will you dismiss me?
41549Will you drink?"
41549Will you impose on my generosity?"
41549Will you let two men mock you?
41549Will you not hear his tale?"
41549Will you not hew him down?"
41549Will you pawn Paradise for Gehenna?"
41549Will you rouse Him further by your blasphemies?"
41549Will you strike her?"
41549Will you wander home to Aleppo at this hour?
41549William de Melun, the mightiest battle- axe in the whole army, fled away,--the infidels he did not fear, but who was proof against famine?
41549Words?
41549Would he not hew through hosts to possess her?
41549Would it never end?
41549Would it not all flee away and leave him at Cefalu in his mother''s bower?
41549Would the Spanish knight come down to Palermo for consultation?
41549Would the fire in his brain never quench?
41549Would the night ever pass?
41549Would the people come forever?
41549Would there never be end to the frightful pound, pound of the horse under him?
41549Would you have me tell of what befell at Cefalu?
41549Would you hear of the wooing of my mother?
41549Would you kill my father by fighting here, and for me?"
41549Wounds?
41549Yet are there any Christians now at Dana?"
41549Yet who better than I may write you?
41549Yet who could think of beasts, where men were staggering with open mouths, gasping for each breath of wind to lighten their burning torments?
41549Yet why do you call my wife by name?"
41549Yezid was whining;"how should I know that I offended my lord?"
41549Yield Mary to Iftikhar as price of his own life?
41549You are blameless, wretched, helpless,--what may I do for you?"
41549You are friends?"
41549You are half a Frank and love them better: better to watch these mad knights at tourney than read Polybius with the Princess Anna?"
41549You can not slay me--""Can not?"
41549You desire to go to Jerusalem?"
41549You did not betray?
41549You do well to go to Jerusalem, but will you go without one word, one look?
41549You have given freedom to his arch foe, and yet you say to me,''Spare''?"
41549You ride to death?"
41549You still hold the face of Richard Longsword dear?"
41549You think,''How can this thing be and God be still good?''
41549You told the tale I gave you?"
41549You would not care for such melancholy?"
41549You would not grudge me that?"
41549Your hopes of power?
41549Your master-- away?
41549Your name?"
41549[ Illustration:"''HOW MAY I LIFT EYES TO YOU WHEN I BELONG TO THE CAUSE OF CHRIST?''"]
41549[ Illustration:"THE CUP TREMBLED AS AT THE VERY THOUGHT SHE SHUDDERED"]"I?"
41549_ Mashallah!_--let others boast; what may not I, Iftikhar, accomplish?
41549_ Ya!_ do you still ask why I say I''let none cross me''?"
41549and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high?
41549and did she not send him forth with his virgin knightly honor, to do great deeds for the love of Christ?
41549and how had he kept that honor?
41549asked Adhemar;"why did you disobey the Holy Saint?"
41549asked Richard, wondering;"no vassals-- no great company?"
41549asked the dazed Iftikhar,"whither?"
41549at Palermo, at Cefalu, and now in France?"
41549been brought very low?
41549began Tancred, pricking up his ears,"a Christian, and yet the private messenger of the infidels?"
41549blood?"
41549blurted out the Norman, pricking his ears,"can you ride and hawk?"
41549came across her teeth,"did I bid you speak?
41549came from his lips hotly,"what is such a threat to me?
41549continued the Norman;"what have I to forgive touching you, my brother?
41549cried Bohemond;"what news do your outposts bring you?"
41549cried Mary,"will you throw your lives away?
41549cried Morgiana, clasping her closer,"what can I say to you, how comfort you?
41549cried Morgiana, in her mood;"do I not hate you with fury passing death?
41549cried Richard,"what have I done that God should send down one of His saints to sit by me, and speak to me, and dwell forever with me?"
41549cried Richard;"who was this Plato-- some pagan long since in hell?"
41549cried all the knights, touched to the quick instantly;"and how came you with these two infidels?"
41549cried he,"wilt Thou suffer even this?"
41549cried his master,"will not my lady make a noble cavalier?
41549cried the Greek, recoiling as he advanced,"what is this speech?
41549cried the Provençal, half threatening, half entreating;"what words are these?
41549cried the dwarf-- her spell once more over him--"what do you desire?"
41549do not I live without bread?
41549do what?
41549exclaimed Richard,"what is this?
41549exclaimed the other;"then Redouan is not loved?"
41549for if it is terrible for one mortal to suffer and go out in agony, what is it when hundreds of thousands suffer?
41549friend; why so fast?
41549growled Richard, clapping a hand on the reckless veteran;"will you blast all now?"
41549growled Richard,"will not God despise me, if I shiver at every gust of danger?"
41549had been his blasphemy; had Christ died for_ him_?
41549have you not one word for me,--for me who have clung fast to you these many years through all?
41549he was crying,"what have I done that I should have such joy?
41549how can I satisfy the Omnipotent?
41549how can we endure when you are reft from us?
41549how has God dealt with the foes of Holy Church and His Vicegerent?
41549how?
41549howled he,"are you not''devoted''?
41549interrupted Bishop Adhemar;"is not God angry with us enough already?
41549my brother, will you be at my side in this adventure?"
41549my daughter, do you remember where we were one year ago this night?"
41549not despairing now, but rejoicing, confident; for after so great a trial to their faith, need the Most High prove them more?
41549of the agony of the march?
41549of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Clermont?
41549or at Palermo in the genii palace with Mary Kurkuas beside the plashing fountain?
41549or in the camp where was the plague and fever?"
41549or must I kill you all?"
41549roared old Herbert, one such day;"and have you taken nothing in your wallets?"
41549said he, half passionately,"why sad?
41549say what?
41549shall I not bear her away to the mountains where is our camp, and the other women?"
41549she was crying softly,"are the horses far away?"
41549swore Louis;"and were not you, my Lord Godfrey, on the foray to Urdeh?"
41549swore Richard and Godfrey together,"shall we never reward you?"
41549swore the Duke,"how discover all this?
41549that I marvelled to myself,''Why is Musa so devoted, yet so true to Richard, my husband?''"
41549that he, and all others, half expected to see bright- robed hosts and a snow- white dove descending from the dark cathedral tower?
41549that the Master of the Devoted be hailed Commander of the Faithful in Bagdad?"
41549that the chain at your neck is too heavy for any mean cavalier?
41549that the sigh of the flagging wind seemed the rustle of angels''wings?
41549that your''pelisson''is lined with rare marten?
41549the Andalusian was crying,"do my ears fail?
41549the St. Julien men were shouting, and who should say them nay?
41549the name of the priest''s boy love?
41549thundered Iftikhar, leaping up,"how knew you this?
41549under the snowy turbans?
41549was Richard''s fierce cry,"if the sealed door were shivered, is there escape?"
41549was his plea,"will no one speak?
41549was the Spaniard''s cry,"you''fear''she lives?"
41549what is this in my presence?
41549what may I do?
41549what shame?
41549where is the Spanish emir?"
41549who is that dwarfish fellow behind the emir?"
41549why couldst Thou not spare my little Ali?
41549why did you spare me?"
41549why speak of this to- night?
41549with a proud toss of his splendid head;"were they ten, what have I to fear?
