The
Prior
Aymer
!
"
repeated
Cedric
,
looking
to
Oswald
,
"
the
brother
,
if
I
mistake
not
,
of
Giles
de
Mauleverer
,
now
lord
of
Middleham
?
"
Oswald
made
a
respectful
sign
of
assent
.
"
His
brother
sits
in
the
seat
,
and
usurps
the
patrimony
,
of
a
better
race
,
the
race
of
Ulfgar
of
Middleham
;
but
what
Norman
lord
doth
not
the
same
?
This
Prior
is
,
they
say
,
a
free
and
jovial
priest
,
who
loves
the
wine-cup
and
the
bugle-horn
better
than
bell
and
book
:
Good
;
let
him
come
,
he
shall
be
welcome
.
How
named
ye
the
Templar
?
"
"
Brian
de
Bois-Guilbert
.
"
"
Bois-Guilbert
,
"
said
Cedric
,
still
in
the
musing
,
half-arguing
tone
,
which
the
habit
of
living
among
dependants
had
accustomed
him
to
employ
,
and
which
resembled
a
man
who
talks
to
himself
rather
than
to
those
around
him
--
"
Bois-Guilbert
?
that
name
has
been
spread
wide
both
for
good
and
evil
.
They
say
he
is
valiant
as
the
bravest
of
his
order
;
but
stained
with
their
usual
vices
,
pride
,
arrogance
,
cruelty
,
and
voluptuousness
;
a
hard-hearted
man
,
who
knows
neither
fear
of
earth
,
nor
awe
of
heaven
.
So
say
the
few
warriors
who
have
returned
from
Palestine
.
--
Well
;
it
is
but
for
one
night
;
he
shall
be
welcome
too
.
--
Oswald
,
broach
the
oldest
wine-cask
;
place
the
best
mead
,
the
mightiest
ale
,
the
richest
morat
,
the
most
sparkling
cider
,
the
most
odoriferous
pigments
,
upon
the
board
;
fill
the
largest
horns
--
Templars
and
Abbots
love
good
wines
and
good
measure
.
--
Elgitha
,
let
thy
Lady
Rowena
,
know
we
shall
not
this
night
expect
her
in
the
hall
,
unless
such
be
her
especial
pleasure
.
"
"
But
it
will
be
her
especial
pleasure
,
"
answered
Elgitha
,
with
great
readiness
,
"
for
she
is
ever
desirous
to
hear
the
latest
news
from
Palestine
.
"
Cedric
darted
at
the
forward
damsel
a
glance
of
hasty
resentment
;
but
Rowena
,
and
whatever
belonged
to
her
,
were
privileged
and
secure
from
his
anger
.
He
only
replied
,
"
Silence
,
maiden
;
thy
tongue
outruns
thy
discretion
.
Say
my
message
to
thy
mistress
,
and
let
her
do
her
pleasure
.
Here
,
at
least
,
the
descendant
of
Alfred
still
reigns
a
princess
.
"
Elgitha
left
the
apartment
"
Palestine
!
"
repeated
the
Saxon
;
"
Palestine
!
how
many
ears
are
turned
to
the
tales
which
dissolute
crusaders
,
or
hypocritical
pilgrims
,
bring
from
that
fatal
land
!
I
too
might
ask
--
I
too
might
enquire
--
I
too
might
listen
with
a
beating
heart
to
fables
which
the
wily
strollers
devise
to
cheat
us
into
hospitality
--
but
no
--
The
son
who
has
disobeyed
me
is
no
longer
mine
;
nor
will
I
concern
myself
more
for
his
fate
than
for
that
of
the
most
worthless
among
the
millions
that
ever
shaped
the
cross
on
their
shoulder
,
rushed
into
excess
and
blood-guiltiness
,
and
called
it
an
accomplishment
of
the
will
of
God
.
"
He
knit
his
brows
,
and
fixed
his
eyes
for
an
instant
on
the
ground
;
as
he
raised
them
,
the
folding
doors
at
the
bottom
of
the
hall
were
cast
wide
,
and
,
preceded
by
the
major-domo
with
his
wand
,
and
four
domestics
bearing
blazing
torches
,
the
guests
of
the
evening
entered
the
apartment
.
With
sheep
and
shaggy
goats
the
porkers
bled
,
