Let
him
grant
it
,
if
he
dare
,
"
said
De
Bracy
;
"
he
will
soon
see
the
difference
betwixt
the
support
of
such
a
lusty
lot
of
spears
as
mine
,
and
that
of
a
heartless
mob
of
Saxon
churls
.
Yet
I
mean
no
immediate
discovery
of
myself
.
Seem
I
not
in
this
garb
as
bold
a
forester
as
ever
blew
horn
?
The
blame
of
the
violence
shall
rest
with
the
outlaws
of
the
Yorkshire
forests
.
I
have
sure
spies
on
the
Saxon
's
motions
--
To-night
they
sleep
in
the
convent
of
Saint
Wittol
,
or
Withold
,
or
whatever
they
call
that
churl
of
a
Saxon
Saint
at
Burton-on-Trent
.
Next
day
's
march
brings
them
within
our
reach
,
and
,
falcon-ways
,
we
swoop
on
them
at
once
.
Presently
after
I
will
appear
in
mine
own
shape
,
play
the
courteous
knight
,
rescue
the
unfortunate
and
afflicted
fair
one
from
the
hands
of
the
rude
ravishers
,
conduct
her
to
Front-de-Boeuf
's
Castle
,
or
to
Normandy
,
if
it
should
be
necessary
,
and
produce
her
not
again
to
her
kindred
until
she
be
the
bride
and
dame
of
Maurice
de
Bracy
.
"
"
A
marvellously
sage
plan
,
"
said
Fitzurse
,
"
and
,
as
I
think
,
not
entirely
of
thine
own
device
.
--
Come
,
be
frank
,
De
Bracy
,
who
aided
thee
in
the
invention
?
and
who
is
to
assist
in
the
execution
?
for
,
as
I
think
,
thine
own
band
lies
as
far
off
as
York
.
"
"
Marry
,
if
thou
must
needs
know
,
"
said
De
Bracy
,
"
it
was
the
Templar
Brian
de
Bois-Guilbert
that
shaped
out
the
enterprise
,
which
the
adventure
of
the
men
of
Benjamin
suggested
to
me
.
He
is
to
aid
me
in
the
onslaught
,
and
he
and
his
followers
will
personate
the
outlaws
,
from
whom
my
valorous
arm
is
,
after
changing
my
garb
,
to
rescue
the
lady
.
"
"
By
my
halidome
,
"
said
Fitzurse
,
"
the
plan
was
worthy
of
your
united
wisdom
!
and
thy
prudence
,
De
Bracy
,
is
most
especially
manifested
in
the
project
of
leaving
the
lady
in
the
hands
of
thy
worthy
confederate
.
Thou
mayst
,
I
think
,
succeed
in
taking
her
from
her
Saxon
friends
,
but
how
thou
wilt
rescue
her
afterwards
from
the
clutches
of
Bois-Guilbert
seems
considerably
more
doubtful
--
He
is
a
falcon
well
accustomed
to
pounce
on
a
partridge
,
and
to
hold
his
prey
fast
.
"
"
He
is
a
Templar
,
"
said
De
Bracy
,
"
and
can
not
therefore
rival
me
in
my
plan
of
wedding
this
heiress
;
--
and
to
attempt
aught
dishonourable
against
the
intended
bride
of
De
Bracy
--
By
Heaven
!
were
he
a
whole
Chapter
of
his
Order
in
his
single
person
,
he
dared
not
do
me
such
an
injury
!
"
"
Then
since
nought
that
I
can
say
,
"
said
Fitzurse
,
"
will
put
this
folly
from
thy
imagination
,
(
for
well
I
know
the
obstinacy
of
thy
disposition
,
)
at
least
waste
as
little
time
as
possible
--
let
not
thy
folly
be
lasting
as
well
as
untimely
.
"
"
I
tell
thee
,
"
answered
De
Bracy
,
"
that
it
will
be
the
work
of
a
few
hours
,
and
I
shall
be
at
York
--
at
the
head
of
my
daring
and
valorous
fellows
,
as
ready
to
support
any
bold
design
as
thy
policy
can
be
to
form
one
.
--
But
I
hear
my
comrades
assembling
,
and
the
steeds
stamping
and
neighing
in
the
outer
court
.
--
Farewell
.
--
I
go
,
like
a
true
knight
,
to
win
the
smiles
of
beauty
.
"
"
Like
a
true
knight
?
"
repeated
Fitzurse
,
looking
after
him
;
"
like
a
fool
,
I
should
say
,
or
like
a
child
,
who
will
leave
the
most
serious
and
needful
occupation
,
to
chase
the
down
of
the
thistle
that
drives
past
him
.
--
But
it
is
with
such
tools
that
I
must
work
;
--
and
for
whose
advantage
?
--
For
that
of
a
Prince
as
unwise
as
he
is
profligate
,
and
as
likely
to
be
an
ungrateful
master
as
he
has
already
proved
a
rebellious
son
and
an
unnatural
brother
.
--
But
he
--
he
,
too
,
is
but
one
of
the
tools
with
which
I
labour
;
and
,
proud
as
he
is
,
should
he
presume
to
separate
his
interest
from
mine
,
this
is
a
secret
which
he
shall
soon
learn
.
"
The
meditations
of
the
statesman
were
here
interrupted
by
the
voice
of
the
Prince
from
an
interior
apartment
,
calling
out
,
"
Noble
Waldemar
Fitzurse
!
"
and
,
with
bonnet
doffed
,
the
future
Chancellor
(
for
to
such
high
preferment
did
the
wily
Norman
aspire
)
hastened
to
receive
the
orders
of
the
future
sovereign
.
Far
in
a
wild
,
unknown
to
public
view
,
