I
pray
you
,
Sir
Knight
,
"
said
Rowena
,
"
to
cease
a
language
so
commonly
used
by
strolling
minstrels
,
that
it
becomes
not
the
mouth
of
knights
or
nobles
.
Certes
,
you
constrain
me
to
sit
down
,
since
you
enter
upon
such
commonplace
terms
,
of
which
each
vile
crowder
hath
a
stock
that
might
last
from
hence
to
Christmas
.
"
"
Proud
damsel
,
"
said
De
Bracy
,
incensed
at
finding
his
gallant
style
procured
him
nothing
but
contempt
--
"
proud
damsel
,
thou
shalt
be
as
proudly
encountered
.
Know
then
,
that
I
have
supported
my
pretensions
to
your
hand
in
the
way
that
best
suited
thy
character
.
It
is
meeter
for
thy
humour
to
be
wooed
with
bow
and
bill
,
than
in
set
terms
,
and
in
courtly
language
.
"
"
Courtesy
of
tongue
,
"
said
Rowena
,
"
when
it
is
used
to
veil
churlishness
of
deed
,
is
but
a
knight
's
girdle
around
the
breast
of
a
base
clown
.
I
wonder
not
that
the
restraint
appears
to
gall
you
--
more
it
were
for
your
honour
to
have
retained
the
dress
and
language
of
an
outlaw
,
than
to
veil
the
deeds
of
one
under
an
affectation
of
gentle
language
and
demeanour
.
"
"
You
counsel
well
,
lady
,
"
said
the
Norman
;
"
and
in
the
bold
language
which
best
justifies
bold
action
I
tell
thee
,
thou
shalt
never
leave
this
castle
,
or
thou
shalt
leave
it
as
Maurice
de
Bracy
's
wife
.
I
am
not
wont
to
be
baffled
in
my
enterprises
,
nor
needs
a
Norman
noble
scrupulously
to
vindicate
his
conduct
to
the
Saxon
maiden
whom
he
distinguishes
by
the
offer
of
his
hand
.
Thou
art
proud
,
Rowena
,
and
thou
art
the
fitter
to
be
my
wife
.
By
what
other
means
couldst
thou
be
raised
to
high
honour
and
to
princely
place
,
saving
by
my
alliance
?
How
else
wouldst
thou
escape
from
the
mean
precincts
of
a
country
grange
,
where
Saxons
herd
with
the
swine
which
form
their
wealth
,
to
take
thy
seat
,
honoured
as
thou
shouldst
be
,
and
shalt
be
,
amid
all
in
England
that
is
distinguished
by
beauty
,
or
dignified
by
power
?
"
"
Sir
Knight
,
"
replied
Rowena
,
"
the
grange
which
you
contemn
hath
been
my
shelter
from
infancy
;
and
,
trust
me
,
when
I
leave
it
--
should
that
day
ever
arrive
--
it
shall
be
with
one
who
has
not
learnt
to
despise
the
dwelling
and
manners
in
which
I
have
been
brought
up
.
"
"
I
guess
your
meaning
,
lady
,
"
said
De
Bracy
,
"
though
you
may
think
it
lies
too
obscure
for
my
apprehension
.
But
dream
not
,
that
Richard
Coeur
de
Lion
will
ever
resume
his
throne
,
far
less
that
Wilfred
of
Ivanhoe
,
his
minion
,
will
ever
lead
thee
to
his
footstool
,
to
be
there
welcomed
as
the
bride
of
a
favourite
.
Another
suitor
might
feel
jealousy
while
he
touched
this
string
;
but
my
firm
purpose
can
not
be
changed
by
a
passion
so
childish
and
so
hopeless
.
Know
,
lady
,
that
this
rival
is
in
my
power
,
and
that
it
rests
but
with
me
to
betray
the
secret
of
his
being
within
the
castle
to
Front-de-Boeuf
,
whose
jealousy
will
be
more
fatal
than
mine
.
"
"
Wilfred
here
?
"
said
Rowena
,
in
disdain
;
"
that
is
as
true
as
that
Front-de-Boeuf
is
his
rival
.
"
De
Bracy
looked
at
her
steadily
for
an
instant
.
