4370 | And if the leaders were already becoming hard pressed to pay such price, what could he do who, for all his previous wealth, was now all but a pauper? |
4370 | But why exercise the license of allegory, piecing words together, when historical truth prevents us from going astray in belief? |

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

12308 | What think you, Cuthbert?" |
12308 | What think you, captain?" |
12308 | What think you, my lords? |
12308 | What would you have more?" |
12308 | What would you then do?" |
12308 | What, my son, could be expected from a great army so formed? |
12308 | Where are we, and where will the course upon which we are running take us?" |
12308 | Who else, I ask, so circumstanced, could have obtained any terms whatever from Saladin? |
12308 | Who would have thought that a number of men, heathen and infidel though they be, could have made so foul an outcry?" |
12308 | Why, what is it, Cnut?" |
12308 | Will they fight on foot or on horse?" |
12308 | You could not, I suppose, Cuthbert, point out the tent where this conversation took place?" |
12308 | or can he be intending to make a clear sweep of the woods? |
12308 | said the emir,"were you one of the two who, as I have heard, defended the king for some time against all assaults? |
26671 | ''And dost thou dearly love thy treasures?'' |
26671 | ''And how does this concern me?'' |
26671 | ''And how fares the earl?'' |
26671 | ''And pray, seneschal,''asked Louis, after a pause,''may I ask if you ever wash the feet of the poor?'' |
26671 | ''And the water of the Nile is deemed sweet to the taste?'' |
26671 | ''And this is all that is known?'' |
26671 | ''And what brought you to Egypt?'' |
26671 | ''And what of the Count of Artois, sir knight?'' |
26671 | ''And what of the caliph?'' |
26671 | ''And what say you on the point, my gay and puissant warrior?'' |
26671 | ''And what say you, most doughty warrior?'' |
26671 | ''And whence,''asked Walter,''comes this yearly increase of water?'' |
26671 | ''And wherefore?'' |
26671 | ''And whither are you going, children?'' |
26671 | ''And yet it seems so turbid to the eye?'' |
26671 | ''And you marvelled that we tarried so long?'' |
26671 | ''And you serve the great English lord, who is called Longsword?'' |
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?'' |
26671 | Am I in Damietta, and do I see you, and in the body?'' |
26671 | And then asked,''But who are you, and why became you a renegade?'' |
26671 | And what in the meantime was taking place in Damietta? |
26671 | And what was the state of affairs before the city? |
26671 | And who was Bibars Bendocdar? |
26671 | And who was the squire, who had entered the service of Joinville at Damietta, and afterwards been taken prisoner by the Saracens? |
26671 | And why was the brave boy so sad? |
26671 | Are you willing to accompany me and share my fortunes, or must we part?'' |
26671 | But how came you hither?'' |
26671 | But what can I do? |
26671 | But what can I do? |
26671 | But who can tell what a day may bring forth? |
26671 | Canst tell me what knights they be who come along so proudly?'' |
26671 | Denis?'' |
26671 | Do you defend this Englishman and take part with him against Frenchmen, who are of your own country and kindred?'' |
26671 | Have you any acquaintance with the Emperor Frederic, or are you of his lineage?'' |
26671 | How am I to know that your intent is not to betray me?'' |
26671 | In considering their energy and cruelty as warriors, is it wonderful that their movements should have been regarded with lively alarm? |
26671 | Is it true that it takes its rise in the terrestrial paradise?'' |
26671 | Is it, think you, to overthrow the Church and betray the cause of Christ, that we abandon our homes and kindred? |
26671 | Know you not that we can instantly order your head to be struck off?'' |
26671 | Knowest thou that the Moslems have a proverb which says,"Hearken to a Frank, and hear a fable?"'' |
26671 | Now in the midst of all this suffering and anxiety, what had become of Guy Muschamp? |
26671 | Now, 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?'' |
26671 | Now, young gentlemen,''said he, addressing Guy and Walter,''will you take service with the prince, and go to war under his banner?'' |
26671 | Sebastian''s- day?'' |
26671 | See you not that the horses of the unbelievers are swifter than yours?'' |
26671 | See you not that their horses are swifter than ours, and we must go cunningly to work? |
26671 | The approach of an enemy? |
26671 | What Mussulman can refuse to march against them, and avenge the glory of Islamism?'' |
26671 | What could it be? |
26671 | What madness excites you?'' |
26671 | What thinkest thou of a movement to Constantinople?'' |
26671 | What was it? |
26671 | What will you give me for having freed you from an enemy who meditated your destruction as well as ours?'' |
26671 | Whence comes this river, the Nile, of which so many stories are told? |
26671 | Where will you be pleased to take up your abode? |
26671 | Wherefore should we dye our weapons in each other''s blood?'' |
26671 | Wherefore should you fall a victim to the madness of my Lord of Artois, or the pride of my Lord of Salisbury?'' |
26671 | Whether would you be a leper, or have committed a deadly sin?'' |
26671 | Who at that time could have imagined the mischief of which this bridge was subsequently to be the cause? |
26671 | Why not at once attack Cairo, which is the capital of Egypt? |
26671 | Why should we take the habit of religion, and pass our lives in a foreign land amid perils and fatigues? |
26671 | and if you know aught of my brother- in- arms, Guy Muschamp?'' |
26671 | and,"Who is thy prophet?"'' |
26671 | cried he to his people in the prow;''are you ready?'' |
26671 | cried the emir, furiously presenting the point of his sword;''know you not that I am master of your person? |
26671 | cried they, addressing the king, wildly and fiercely;''art thou ignorant of thy danger, or what may be the fate that awaits thee? |
26671 | dost think King Richard is there?" |
26671 | exclaimed Bibars Bendocdar, impatiently;''know you not your danger? |
26671 | exclaimed Bisset,''rearing as an assassin? |
26671 | exclaimed Walter, astonished;''and how came I to Damietta? |
26671 | said Bisset, staring in amaze,''what is this I see?'' |
26671 | was it fire? |
39701 | A curse upon him? 39701 And Enzio--?" |
39701 | And Jaqueline, the lady''s maid? |
39701 | And did the spirited damsel smile upon thy suit? |
39701 | And dost thou encourage them in evil speaking of their mistress, by listening to their idle tales? |
39701 | And had the superlative beauty of the Red King''s ward no influence? |
39701 | And hast thou not heard of the siege of St. Michael''s Mount? |
39701 | And hast thou then doubted the affection of Adela? |
39701 | And have these gases been able to effect the desirable changes? |
39701 | And how long have you dwelt at the castle? |
39701 | And how looks the candidate for our favor; is he fair and wise? |
39701 | And how would''st thou purpose that I should bind them to their allegiance? |
39701 | And if I say, draw thy sword for the good Prince Edward, wilt follow me? |
39701 | And if he were retainer of the outlaw? |
39701 | And if reason determined thy return, wherefore comest thou alone? |
39701 | And were not the establishment of Christian powers in Asia a worthy purpose? |
39701 | And were these pirates Infidels? |
39701 | And what became of thy father? |
39701 | And what do men say? |
39701 | And what dost thou consider the chief agent in the universe? |
39701 | And what farther chanced to the Saxon? |
39701 | And what is the name of the fair creature with the golden locks? |
39701 | And what kind hand tended thy illness? |
39701 | And what said the Atheling to thy visionary scheme? |
39701 | And what wouldst thou, sir knight? |
39701 | And where am I? |
39701 | And where is your mother? |
39701 | And wherefore comes not Robert with thee? |
39701 | And wherefore comest thou hither? 39701 And wherefore didst thou commit to a dying man the precious jewel which I saw in thy hand?" |
39701 | And who art thou, my pretty page? |
39701 | And who art thou, pert boy? |
39701 | And who art thou, that darest to cross the purpose of D''Essai? 39701 And why did Jaqueline leave the castle?" |
39701 | And why fatal? |
39701 | And your father? |
39701 | Are not the Tartars of the same race as the Turks? |
39701 | Are there not some who say, that Gog and Magog are the heresies which vex the church? |
39701 | Art thou the bearer of good tidings? |
39701 | Art vexed that my ear loved not the sound of thy lute, peevish child? |
39701 | Aye, verily,replied the Jew, fiercely,"but how does the Lord repay vengeance? |
39701 | But by what fatal mischance came I hither? 39701 But by what means hath she discovered herself to thee in this strange land?" |
39701 | But do not the people of God always triumph in the battles with the Infidels? |
39701 | But doth the exile''s heart serenely dwell in sunshine there? |
39701 | But 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?" |
39701 | But wherefore the monkish habit? 39701 But wherefore wouldst thou to England?" |
39701 | By what means were these wonderful works produced? |
39701 | By what title claimest_ thou_ allegiance to that fallen house? |
39701 | Canst judge if it be a metal? |
39701 | Canst tell me aught of the movements of the rebel barons, or the fate of my brave knights? |
39701 | Certes,said Petronilla,"and were it not a fitting time and place to hold the festival of our Court of Love? |
39701 | Could he speak with Adam Henrid? |
39701 | Despair not,replied the noble Melech,"for what saith the proverb? |
39701 | Did I not tell thee it would thwart his dearest wish? |
39701 | Did he rejoin the christian army? |
39701 | Did not his peers deem him worthy a principality in Palestine? |
39701 | Did not the vows of knighthood alone forbid thee to abandon the holy cause? |
39701 | Did wife and children draw my husband from the paths of glory and the cause of God? |
39701 | Didst not mark the battle- axe of the rude seneschal? 39701 Do not the people love her gracious majesty, my royal mother?" |
39701 | Do you like letter- reading? 39701 Does thy realm of England abound in such comely damsels?" |
39701 | Dost reject my gift, or hath some sudden illness seized thee? |
39701 | Hast come to bring a blessing to the habitation of Hardrager? |
39701 | Hast ever been in London? |
39701 | Hast heard aught of the Countess of Huntingdon? |
39701 | Hast thou brought the metal I gave thee? |
39701 | Heaven bless thee for thy news,said Adela, in a transport of joy;"and Robert?" |
39701 | How is this? 39701 How is this?" |
39701 | How knowest thou this? |
39701 | How leagued with thy foes? |
39701 | How so? |
39701 | How? |
39701 | I feared me some mischance had occasioned it,said Adela,"but seeing thee well, I am happy-- yet wherefore art thou come?" |
39701 | I 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?" |
39701 | In truth, I marked such a youth,said Adela, blushing,"but wherefore frequents he not the court?" |
39701 | Is the count, then, in Rouen? |
39701 | Is there aught,said she,"of interest to thyself or others in which I can aid thee?" |
39701 | Is this thine habitation? |
39701 | Lives there not one of all the princely house? |
39701 | Might he gain a moment''s audience of the Lady de Clifford? |
39701 | Miserable man,exclaimed Adela,"hast thou betrayed the army of the Lord?" |
39701 | Part we so soon, sir knight? |
39701 | Rememberest thou, my sister,said he,"the valiant Plantagenet, who so gallantly bore off the honors of our tournament?" |
39701 | Seest thou not a troop of horse, winding along the brow of the hill? 39701 They exact, then, toll and custom?" |
39701 | Thinkest thou the English curtel axe no better weapon than a Gascon''s spear? |
39701 | Thou 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? |
39701 | Thou lovest Sir Henry, then? |
39701 | Turn 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? |
39701 | Was not your father, the great Leicester, dragged a public spectacle, by the hair of the head through the streets of Evesham? |
39701 | What dazzling vision is this? |
39701 | What dost thou now observe? |
39701 | What is thy name? |
39701 | What is''t we live for? 39701 What of my lord?" |
39701 | What of my queen? 39701 What priestly scheme hast thou in hand?" |
39701 | What saith the proverb? |
39701 | What thing so good which not some harm may bring? 39701 What whisper ye?" |
39701 | Whence hast thou the dove, and what is his errand? |
39701 | Where could Henry find balls of silk? 39701 Where hast thou known Count Richard?" |
39701 | Where is the petulant Peyrol? |
39701 | Where is the traitor? 39701 Who brought you hither?" |
39701 | Who but the squire to my Lord de Mortimer? 39701 Who has put this foolish conceit into thy young head? |
39701 | Whom have we here? |
39701 | Whose page art thou? |
39701 | Why do you weep? |
39701 | Why grieves my Rose, my sweetest Rose? |
39701 | Wouldst ought with me? |
39701 | Alphonso advancing took up the crucible, saying,"What seest thou, my sister?" |
39701 | Am I to be subject to nurses, dosed with physic, and soothed with lullabys, like a muling child? |
39701 | And I said, whose tomb is this? |
39701 | And all the conquests which them high did rear Be they all dead, or shall again appear? |
39701 | And did he not find thee needy, and hath he not enriched thee? |
39701 | And did he not find thee wandering in error, and hath he not guided thee into the truth? |
39701 | And who was the fair inmate?" |
39701 | Answer me positively, are not these things my right?" |
39701 | As they took their solitary way between the camp and the walls of Acre, Salaman ventured to inquire,"Whither goest thou, Elsiebede?" |
39701 | But 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? |
39701 | But how learnedst thou these things?" |
39701 | But must I leave thee here alone and unprotected?" |
39701 | But wherefore didst thou detain thy unworthy Beauclerk, is there not kingdom or duchy for him?" |
39701 | By what power is our Earth carried around the Sun?" |
39701 | By what right dost thou interfere between me and my bride?" |
39701 | Can Christian lore, can patriot''s zeal, Can love of blessed charity? |
39701 | Can piety the discord heal, Or stanch the death- feud''s enmity? |
39701 | Canst thou point me to the home of this fair damsel?" |
39701 | Comes he direct from the Holy Land?" |
39701 | Could a permanent christian kingdom be founded in Palestine? |
39701 | Did he not commission the sword to cut off the Canaanites, the Midianites, the Assyrians, and those who vexed his people in every age? |
39701 | Did not he find thee an orphan, and hath he not taken care of thee? |
39701 | Doth not the heart seek happiness as the flower seeks the light? |
39701 | Dwells she in the trembling tent of age? |
39701 | E''en to be happy is a dangerous thing?" |
39701 | For what saith the proverb? |
39701 | For whose pleasure and privacy was the labyrinth contrived? |
39701 | Had her indignant father returned from the Holy Land, and immured her in the dungeons of Clifford castle to hide her shame? |
39701 | Had she made her couch in the cold, dark grave? |
39701 | Has he no song for the ear of his lady?" |
39701 | Has the Jew resolved to do penance for his sins?" |
39701 | Has the Saviour, for my sins, denied me at last the sight of his holy sepulchre?" |
39701 | Has the same blow that still keeps the blood dancing in the brain of thy brother, paralyzed thy hand?" |
39701 | Hast news of my chancellor?" |
39701 | Hast thou Sir Isumbras seen? |
39701 | Have I then been the dupe, as well as the prey of my designing brothers?" |
39701 | Have they discovered the long- sought principle? |
39701 | How canst thou sustain such assertions?" |
39701 | How couldst thou listen to such vain parlance?" |
39701 | How have they sped in their encounters with the Infidels?" |
39701 | How is this?" |
39701 | How meanest thou, silly child?" |
39701 | I would fain learn something of this strange people,"said Adela;"do they observe the rites of our church?" |
39701 | Is it not by the hand of man he brings retribution upon the guilty? |
39701 | Is it not so?" |
39701 | Is there no gift in the power of Adela which Ingulfus would accept?" |
39701 | Knowest thou not he is leagued with thy father''s foes? |
39701 | Knowest thou not the proverb? |
39701 | Life, what had it been to him? |
39701 | Longsword, shamest thou the blood of the Plantagenet by counselling with women and leeches? |
39701 | Loves he aught else? |
39701 | One of his knights, fit follower of such a master, inquired as he rejoined his troop,"What has my lord Guy de Montfort done?" |
39701 | Or had some other hand dared to blot out the life so dear to him? |
39701 | Remains there none of Lord Walter''s kin to offer welcome or charity in our lady''s name?" |
39701 | Rememberest thou not the words of the confessor, that the pomps and vanities of the world lead the soul astray?" |
39701 | Shall I then leave her under the power of the tyrant? |
39701 | Shall our beautiful Palermo be defiled by strangers? |
39701 | Should Damascus become an appanage of Jerusalem, a fief of the French crown, or a German principality? |
39701 | Tears shone in Berengaria''s eyes, and she added,"Why wilt thou misunderstand me? |
39701 | The philosopher remained silent for a moment, and then answered,"knowest thou the effect of the measures thou proposest?" |
39701 | Then the heralds rang out a shrill note upon the trumpets, expressive of the demand,"What shall be done with the false- hearted knave?" |
39701 | Then turning calmly to the knights,"Reginald,"said he,"I have granted thee many favors, what is thy object now? |
39701 | There was a battle-- there was a defeat-- there was a prisoner-- The Vicar of Christ, showed he mercy? |
39701 | Was it Woden the storm- throned, that thus with relentless fury pursued the Viking''s progeny,--despoilers of the Saxon race? |
39701 | Was she a wanderer and an outcast, with a bleeding heart and a blighted name? |
39701 | Was this tortuous path the road to a mortal habitation? |
39701 | What gambols art thou playing again in thy sleep? |
39701 | What hand had planted the rare exotic adjacent to the hawthorn and the sloe? |
39701 | What has this sceptre brought me? |
39701 | Where are thy guards, thy royal escort?--where thy maiden train, thy counsellors of state? |
39701 | Where be the battles, where the shield and spear? |
39701 | Where be the bold achievements done by some? |
39701 | Where is the antique glory now become, That while some wo nt in woman to appear? |
39701 | Where is the archbishop?" |
39701 | Which shall I choose for her, the yoke, or honor? |
39701 | Whom would she first delight to honor?" |
39701 | Why dost thou hesitate?" |
39701 | Why must I die without discovering the sublime agencies?" |
39701 | With instinctive fear, she clung tremblingly to the arm of her resolute dependent, whispering,"Whither dost thou lead me? |
39701 | Yet whence--""Is it not a miracle,"interrupted the philosopher, laughing,"more real than thy fancied transubstantiation?" |
39701 | and why under such convoy?" |
39701 | inquired Edward,"that hast so dexterously redeemed thy prince, and whither dost thou conduct me?" |
39701 | knave, where got''st thou the bauble? |
39701 | knows he of thy purpose?" |
39701 | of England?" |
39701 | of Joanna? |
39701 | oh canst thou not forgive?" |
39701 | or has the angel Azrael drawn around her silent couch the curtain of perpetual night?" |
39701 | said Eleanora,"and how hast thou wandered into this wild?" |
39701 | said he to Eva, lifting the boy tenderly from his knees,"why has the banished outlaw sought thy fair lips to plead his cause? |
39701 | said the philosopher, in an accent of despair,"why art thou so brief? |
39701 | shouted he, starting from his seat,"dost thou think to win my favor by bringing me the head of thy murdered lord? |
39701 | where is Becket, why comes not my friend and counsellor?" |
6350 | A boy? 6350 A crest?" |
6350 | A friend? 6350 A monk?" |
6350 | A right? |
6350 | Am I? 6350 And come you hither for the Pope''s justice?" |
6350 | And did you not know that I was with the army? |
6350 | And had I? 6350 And has your Grace no deed for me to do?" |
6350 | And how came you by such a wound? |
6350 | And 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? |
6350 | And let your uncle Gloucester be put to death by Stephen''s wife? |
6350 | And not go to see my mother? |
6350 | And 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?" |
6350 | And said he anything? 6350 And she never told you her stepmother''s name, and never mentioned this Englishman?" |
6350 | And then? 6350 And therefore thought yourselves free to rob strangers and steal cattle, and cut one anothers''throats?" |
6350 | And what are those beliefs? |
6350 | And what device shall I set in this man''s shield? |
6350 | And who are you, sir, that seek the Duke? |
6350 | And who is that? |
6350 | And who is this? |
6350 | And who should dare touch us? |
6350 | And why are you left behind? |
6350 | And why not to fight? |
6350 | And you are come to do as you are bidden, getting admittance to me stealthily, with men of my own who have betrayed me? |
6350 | And you ask nothing of me? |
6350 | And you? 6350 Are you a Norman, sir?" |
6350 | Are you a kinsman of Guiscard and of them that last burnt Rome? 6350 Are you alone?" |
6350 | Are you angry because Master Gilbert is frightened? |
6350 | Are you angry now? |
6350 | Are you one of those persons for whom it is necessary to explain everything? |
6350 | Are you so anxious for my safety as that? |
6350 | Are you so young, and have you already such desperate sorrows? |
6350 | Are you the first? 6350 Are you too deeply occupied to talk with me awhile? |
6350 | At all times? |
6350 | At the risk of the Queen''s displeasure? |
6350 | Beatrix? 6350 Bernard of Clairvaux-- a leader of men? |
6350 | But if you are, why are you not in Gloucester? |
6350 | But that is not all,she continued thoughtfully;"was there no woman-- no love-- no one that was dearer than all you lost?" |
6350 | But the question,she continued,"is what am I to do for the man?" |
6350 | But what does it matter, after all, since we have met at last? |
6350 | By''simple,''do you mean foolish, or do you mean plain? |
6350 | Can a man marry his mother''s husband''s child? |
6350 | Can not? 6350 Can you not believe us?" |
6350 | Can you tell me where I can find the messenger who brought you this? |
6350 | Could you not send me any word? |
6350 | Did you come here in your sleep? |
6350 | Do I seem so strange to you? |
6350 | Do you know him? |
6350 | Do you laugh at me, sir? |
6350 | Do you mean that I love you as I might a sister? |
6350 | Do you not think that the Queen of France is the most beautiful woman in the world? |
6350 | Do you really believe that I do not love you? |
6350 | Do you say this because Norman men hold half of your Italy? |
6350 | Do you understand this? |
6350 | Do you wish to draw away the crowd so as to make room for the Queen? |
6350 | Does a man risk his life desperately, as he did, for the woman he loves, or for another, when both are in like danger? |
6350 | For that matter, are you better? |
6350 | From England? 6350 Gilbert Warde,"he asked,"do you not know me?" |
6350 | Gilbert, what are we to each other? 6350 Had he no other blood to give you than his own? |
6350 | Have I not told you how I have thought of you day after day, hoping that you might think well of my deeds? |
6350 | Have they held it well or ill? |
6350 | Have you not told me that your father has married his mother? 6350 How came you by this?" |
6350 | How can it be anything else? |
6350 | How can your life be hateful? |
6350 | How could we guess that you were breakfasting out here this morning? 6350 How did you know?" |
6350 | How is it that I have never found you before now? |
6350 | How long has the Queen loved you? |
6350 | How? |
6350 | I love the Queen? 6350 I mean to be your friend, your best friend-- do you understand?" |
6350 | I meant, is she beautiful? |
6350 | I never told you so? 6350 I?" |
6350 | If he loves me, is that no right? |
6350 | If he loves you? 6350 If men knew-- what?" |
6350 | If we fall out among ourselves,said Eleanor, at last,"who shall unite us? |
6350 | If you do not, how can I tell you what I mean? |
6350 | Is Beatrix here? |
6350 | Is Paris so dull? 6350 Is Stoke not mine? |
6350 | Is it so urgent? |
6350 | Is she fair? |
6350 | Is there nothing whereby I may prove my thanks? |
6350 | Is this more simplicity, or is it more dulness? |
6350 | Lady Anne, shall I send it to him, or shall he come here? 6350 Let me see-- why not your Grace''s own? |
6350 | Love? |
6350 | Madam, what did you mean? |
6350 | Madam,said Gilbert, suddenly determined to know the truth,"is Beatrix here with you or not? |
6350 | Madam,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? |
6350 | Might I not even bid him good- by, as a friend might? |
6350 | Monks? |
6350 | Not often enough, you think? 6350 Not quite?" |
6350 | Of whom? |
6350 | On my soul-- on the Holy Cross--"Never loved her? 6350 On your knightly faith?" |
6350 | Or are you frightened because his lordship, the Count of Anjou, is angry? |
6350 | Proud of me? |
6350 | Saw you the gentleman to whom it belongs? |
6350 | Shall I have the new tunic if I save the Lady Beatrix-- and the Queen of France? |
6350 | Shall the earth that drank that blood be as other earth? 6350 Shall we turn aside and ride up the mountain, to let them pass?" |
6350 | She is very silent, is she not? |
6350 | Sir,said Dunstan,"will you let me touch the Lady Beatrix?" |
6350 | Such as teaching me to play tennis? |
6350 | The Duchess of, Gascony? |
6350 | The Lord of Stoke? |
6350 | The matter? |
6350 | The question you asked today? |
6350 | Then you are zealous only to obey me? 6350 Then you know him well?" |
6350 | Then you love her? |
6350 | There is nothing the matter; why do you ask? |
6350 | They 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?" |
6350 | Was it without conviction that you took the Cross from my hands to- day? |
6350 | Well, what then? |
6350 | Well? |
6350 | Well? |
6350 | Were they unkind to you? |
6350 | Were you with the Queen at Vezelay? 6350 What am I to you, that you should fight for me? |
6350 | What can you do that I can not? |
6350 | What did you say? |
6350 | What does Beatrix de Curboil say of him? |
6350 | What have I done that you should say such a thing? |
6350 | What have lands and fortune to do with friendship-- or with love? |
6350 | What is it that you understand? |
6350 | What is it? |
6350 | What is it? |
6350 | What is it? |
6350 | What is the matter? |
6350 | What is this? |
6350 | What makes you so sad? |
6350 | What said he? |
6350 | What satisfaction shall you get from that? 6350 What shall I do now?" |
6350 | What should you do yourself? |
6350 | What then? |
6350 | What things may those be? |
6350 | What? |
6350 | What? |
6350 | Where should we go? |
6350 | Who are you? |
6350 | Who is her husband? |
6350 | Who is it? |
6350 | Who is that man? |
6350 | Who sends me such presents? |
6350 | Who should dare to lay a hand on you? |
6350 | Why did you come here? |
6350 | Why do you call me ignorant? 6350 Why have you come to me?" |
6350 | Why not? 6350 Why not?" |
6350 | Why should I go back? |
6350 | Why should I go? |
6350 | Why should you defend me? |
6350 | Why? |
6350 | Why? |
6350 | Will you answer a fair question fairly, Master Gilbert? |
6350 | Will you give me a lesson, Master Gilbert? |
6350 | Will you teach me to play tennis? |
6350 | Will you teach me to play, if I come down to you? |
6350 | Yes; what does it matter? |
6350 | You 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?" |
6350 | You knew that I was here? 6350 Your Grace is alone?" |
6350 | A general?" |
6350 | A soldier? |
6350 | Am I not my father''s son?" |
6350 | And what may you be doing in Normandy, young sir? |
6350 | And you, sir? |
6350 | And, Gilbert, you will not wait till I send for you another time? |
6350 | Angry? |
6350 | Are you beside yourself?" |
6350 | Are you hurt, sir?" |
6350 | Are you so great in mind and so poor in sense as to think that he could lead men and win? |
6350 | Are you the last? |
6350 | Are you to be a woman to me, a woman, at one moment, and a sovereign to me, a subject, at the next? |
6350 | Brother and sister?" |
6350 | But how should I know? |
6350 | But if she had killed my uncle, well, what of that? |
6350 | Can I furnish you the girdle of honesty for the virtue you have not? |
6350 | Can I give you faith as a salve, wherewith to anoint your blind eyes? |
6350 | Do you believe me, Gilbert?" |
6350 | Gilbert-- a dreadful thing has happened; did he tell you?" |
6350 | Has Rome made an end of deceiving, and found the termination of disappointment? |
6350 | Have you been with her on all the march?" |
6350 | Have you no message?" |
6350 | He? |
6350 | How could I live with them? |
6350 | How should I fear you, since I can wring you to death in my hands if I will? |
6350 | How?" |
6350 | I asked where she was, but you would not answer and were angry--""I? |
6350 | I sent you out to die-- why should you wish me to be safe?" |
6350 | If men lose faith in the cause before them and grow greedy of the things that lie in their way, who shall set them right?" |
6350 | Is Gilbert a god that he should not yield to you? |
6350 | Is it not enough that the strong should not wantonly bruise the weak nor deal unfairly by him? |
6350 | Is our court so grave? |
6350 | Is that your justice?" |
6350 | Is the tomb where God rested Him of His crucified manhood to be given up to forgetfulness and defilement? |
6350 | Is there any among you who would not fight, while he had breath, to save his father''s dead bones from dishonour? |
6350 | Is 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? |
6350 | Never made you think so? |
6350 | No-- how could I have lived with them, knowing what I did, even had they been ever so kind?" |
6350 | Now if you are here, am I not safe? |
6350 | Of what country may you be?" |
6350 | Or are we sinless, that we need not even the memory of the sacrifice, and so pure that we need no purification? |
6350 | Or if he must, in your ideal, then why should not the strong nation share her strength and wealth with her weak neighbour? |
6350 | Shall I promise repentance for you to God, while you smile on your next lover? |
6350 | Shall any one say that such true prayers are not heard, because they are spoken by lips that have sinned? |
6350 | Shall that be all?" |
6350 | Shall the place that echoed the seven words of agony be as other places? |
6350 | The Cross of Aquitaine?" |
6350 | To lift up a race? |
6350 | To plant good, that good may grow? |
6350 | To save men? |
6350 | Was it not unknightly of him?" |
6350 | Was not the Queen of France his friend? |
6350 | Were you in my place, which should you do?" |
6350 | What can I do?" |
6350 | What is the matter?" |
6350 | What right have you to the man I love? |
6350 | What thing shall I give him to attempt?" |
6350 | What was there in Beatrix to hold him, after all? |
6350 | What would you of me? |
6350 | Where is the difference?" |
6350 | Which is it to be?" |
6350 | Who should preach another crusade in our day?" |
6350 | Why did you leave your home?" |
6350 | Why do you come here to- night? |
6350 | Why have you sought me out?" |
6350 | Why should I care?" |
6350 | Why should the strong man share with the weak what he may keep for himself? |
6350 | Why?" |
6350 | Will you do this?" |
6350 | Woman to woman, tell me what right you have?" |
6350 | Would any man think twice in choosing? |
6350 | Would you go back to the old times when we were boy and girl? |
6350 | Would you take it back?" |
6350 | Would you, if you could?" |
6350 | You 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?" |
6350 | she asked,"How should life not be hateful, when every natural thing that makes life worth living is choked as soon as it is awake? |

392 | All other breasts to you are marble stone, Dare you then pierce a woman''s bosom thin? |

392 | And wilt thou idly here attend the morn?" |

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