Friend
wayfarer
,
"
replied
the
hermit
,
"
be
not
importunate
;
if
thou
puttest
me
to
use
the
carnal
weapon
in
mine
own
defence
,
it
will
be
e
'
en
the
worse
for
you
.
"
At
this
moment
a
distant
noise
of
barking
and
growling
,
which
the
traveller
had
for
some
time
heard
,
became
extremely
loud
and
furious
,
and
made
the
knight
suppose
that
the
hermit
,
alarmed
by
his
threat
of
making
forcible
entry
,
had
called
the
dogs
who
made
this
clamour
to
aid
him
in
his
defence
,
out
of
some
inner
recess
in
which
they
had
been
kennelled
.
Incensed
at
this
preparation
on
the
hermit
's
part
for
making
good
his
inhospitable
purpose
,
the
knight
struck
the
door
so
furiously
with
his
foot
,
that
posts
as
well
as
staples
shook
with
violence
.
The
anchorite
,
not
caring
again
to
expose
his
door
to
a
similar
shock
,
now
called
out
aloud
,
"
Patience
,
patience
--
spare
thy
strength
,
good
traveller
,
and
I
will
presently
undo
the
door
,
though
,
it
may
be
,
my
doing
so
will
be
little
to
thy
pleasure
.
The
door
accordingly
was
opened
;
and
the
hermit
,
a
large
,
strong-built
man
,
in
his
sackcloth
gown
and
hood
,
girt
with
a
rope
of
rushes
,
stood
before
the
knight
.
He
had
in
one
hand
a
lighted
torch
,
or
link
,
and
in
the
other
a
baton
of
crab-tree
,
so
thick
and
heavy
,
that
it
might
well
be
termed
a
club
.
Two
large
shaggy
dogs
,
half
greyhound
half
mastiff
,
stood
ready
to
rush
upon
the
traveller
as
soon
as
the
door
should
be
opened
.
But
when
the
torch
glanced
upon
the
lofty
crest
and
golden
spurs
of
the
knight
,
who
stood
without
,
the
hermit
,
altering
probably
his
original
intentions
,
repressed
the
rage
of
his
auxiliaries
,
and
,
changing
his
tone
to
a
sort
of
churlish
courtesy
,
invited
the
knight
to
enter
his
hut
,
making
excuse
for
his
unwillingness
to
open
his
lodge
after
sunset
,
by
alleging
the
multitude
of
robbers
and
outlaws
who
were
abroad
,
and
who
gave
no
honour
to
Our
Lady
or
St
Dunstan
,
nor
to
those
holy
men
who
spent
life
in
their
service
.
"
The
poverty
of
your
cell
,
good
father
,
"
said
the
knight
,
looking
around
him
,
and
seeing
nothing
but
a
bed
of
leaves
,
a
crucifix
rudely
carved
in
oak
,
a
missal
,
with
a
rough-hewn
table
and
two
stools
,
and
one
or
two
clumsy
articles
of
furniture
--
"
the
poverty
of
your
cell
should
seem
a
sufficient
defence
against
any
risk
of
thieves
,
not
to
mention
the
aid
of
two
trusty
dogs
,
large
and
strong
enough
,
I
think
,
to
pull
down
a
stag
,
and
of
course
,
to
match
with
most
men
.
"
"
The
good
keeper
of
the
forest
,
"
said
the
hermit
,
"
hath
allowed
me
the
use
of
these
animals
,
to
protect
my
solitude
until
the
times
shall
mend
.
"
Having
said
this
,
he
fixed
his
torch
in
a
twisted
branch
of
iron
which
served
for
a
candlestick
;
and
,
placing
the
oaken
trivet
before
the
embers
of
the
fire
,
which
he
refreshed
with
some
dry
wood
,
he
placed
a
stool
upon
one
side
of
the
table
,
and
beckoned
to
the
knight
to
do
the
same
upon
the
other
.
They
sat
down
,
and
gazed
with
great
gravity
at
each
other
,
each
thinking
in
his
heart
that
he
had
seldom
seen
a
stronger
or
more
athletic
figure
than
was
placed
opposite
to
him
.
"
Reverend
hermit
,
"
said
the
knight
,
after
looking
long
and
fixedly
at
his
host
,
"
were
it
not
to
interrupt
your
devout
meditations
,
I
would
pray
to
know
three
things
of
your
holiness
;
first
,
where
I
am
to
put
my
horse
?
--
secondly
,
what
I
can
have
for
supper
?
--
thirdly
,
where
I
am
to
take
up
my
couch
for
the
night
?
"
"
I
will
reply
to
you
,
"
said
the
hermit
,
"
with
my
finger
,
it
being
against
my
rule
to
speak
by
words
where
signs
can
answer
the
purpose
.
"
So
saying
,
he
pointed
successively
to
two
corners
of
the
hut
.
"
Your
stable
,
"
said
he
,
"
is
there
--
your
bed
there
;
and
,
"
reaching
down
a
platter
with
two
handfuls
of
parched
pease
upon
it
from
the
neighbouring
shelf
,
and
placing
it
upon
the
table
,
he
added
,
"
your
supper
is
here
.
"
